Cool autumn nights can lead to light winds & limited atmospheric mixing, so local pollution sources like chimneys, traffic, and industrial process, can build up, leading to higher levels of particulate matter. This week, brushfires in the Southern U.S. are bringing smoke into NY.

Most of the smoke stays aloft and is not as intense as wildfire smoke we’ve see from Western wildfires; however, there’s still a portion of the fine particles that settle. Western NY saw some elevated AQI last night but it will continue to improve throughout the day.

Domestic violence is about power and control. Survivors are the experts in their own lives.
A survivor-centered approach means listening without judgment, respecting choices, and supporting safety on the survivor's terms.

I know how much high energy bills are stretching family budgets.
On the ground in the Bronx today, I highlighted what we’re doing to help lower those costs, including a monthly discount on energy bills for millions of New Yorkers.

Nor'easter update for NYC: coastal flooding could reach minor to locally moderate levels during high tides Thursday evening through Saturday, largely around Jamaica Bay.
Tonight's high tide could also bring minor flooding there.
🗺️ The storm is still tracking north well offshore, and the heaviest rain is forecast to stay east of NYC over southeastern New England.
For the city, that means gusty winds, weekend rain, and high-tide flooding near the shore.
💨 Gusts will build through the week: 25 to 35 mph today and Thursday, 30 to 45 mph Friday, and 30 to 40 mph Saturday. Secure loose items on balconies, rooftops, and patios, and keep your phone charged.
🌧️ Today and Thursday stay dry. Rain could start as early as late Friday evening, with a 45% to 60% chance of light to briefly moderate rain through the weekend. Totals of 0.5 to 1.25 inches are possible over two to two and a half days.
🚗 Expect some ponding on roads: slow down, allow extra time, and never drive through standing water.
🚫 If you live or travel near the water, do not drive, walk, or swim through floodwaters, including flooded roads, underpasses, and low-lying areas. Turn Around, Don't Drown.
🏖️ Rip current risk is high through Saturday.
📲 Our team is tracking this storm with @NWSNewYorkNY every day, and we'll share updates as the forecast changes. Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 or visit nyc.gov/notifynyc.
Basement apartment residents: sign up at nyc.gov/notify and select the basement apartment option to receive automated phone call alerts during flooding.
Call 911 in an emergency and 311 for non-emergency City services.

Utility bills are too high and families need relief.
That’s why I expanded New York’s Energy Affordability Program so millions more households can qualify for discounts on their bills.
An estimated 2.5 million more households may now be eligible to save up to a few hundred you qualify: NY.gov/EAP

A beautiful morning gave way to unfathomable tragedy.
Twenty-five years later, the world has changed. But we will never forget those we lost, those who survived, and the families forever changed.
A special thank you to Steve Buscemi, a former FDNY d to serve after the attacks, for lending his voice to this video.
