NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The crowd of up to a million New Year’s Eve revelers in Times Square on Wednesday night will be ringing in 2026 in the coldest conditions since 2017, according to AccuWeather, and could even see a little snow.
It will be mostly cloudy on New Year’s Eve, and confetti won’t be the only thing falling after midnight, AccuWeather forecasts. Occasional snow and flurries are expected to come down, mostly after the ball drops.
The temperature is expected to be around freezing at midnight, with an overnight low of 28. AccuWeather said that there will be light accumulations later overnight, from a dusting up to an inch, and warns to watch out for slippery spots.
New Year’s Day will see another flurry or two in the area early on, but otherwise will be blustery and cold with a mix of sun and clouds. The high will max out at 32, before temperatures fall to the upper 20s, but AccuWeather said that it will feel like the teens.
It will be clear and colder come nighttime, with a low of 20 in the city.
Sun and clouds are expected on Friday and Saturday, with brisk highs of 30 and 33, respectively.
