New York City, November 11, 2025

New York City is under a freeze warning with temperatures expected to plunge to near freezing levels. Residents should prepare for wind chills that may make it feel even colder, as light snowfall is also a possibility. Precautions are advised to ensure safety during this early-season cold snap. The warning, issued by the National Weather Service, will be in effect early Tuesday. As Arctic air sweeps into the area, New Yorkers are encouraged to stay updated on weather alert statuses and follow safety guidelines.

New York City Under Freeze Warning as Arctic Air Brings Plummeting Temperatures and Snow Possibilities

New York City is facing a freeze warning as an Arctic air mass moves into the region, with temperatures expected to drop between 30 and 32 degrees Fahrenheit overnight. The National Weather Service has issued the freeze warning, which will take effect from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. Wind chills could make it feel even colder, with “real feel” temperatures potentially dipping into the teens and low 20s.

Alongside the freezing temperatures, light snowfall is also possible, though significant accumulation is not expected. The combination of cold air and gusty winds may lead to sporadic flurries in the New York City area. Residents are encouraged to take necessary precautions such as keeping pets indoors, protecting outdoor plants, and dressing warmly when venturing outside. Additionally, drivers should allow extra time in the morning to defrost their vehicles and clear windshields.

This abrupt change in weather is due to a significant dip in the jet stream, allowing Arctic air to move down into the area. While cold fronts occur during early November, the accompanying wind chills and potential light snowfall are noteworthy. Historically, New York City sees its first measurable snowfall from early to mid-November, with the average date for the first snowfall occurring around December 9.

Residents are advised to stay current with weather forecasts and heed any further advisories issued by local authorities to ensure safety during this early-season cold snap.
