New Yorkers are facing scorching heat Tuesday as they head to the polls in local elections that include the hotly contested Democratic primary race for New York City mayor.

Voters in New York City cast their ballots vote for the democratic nominee for mayor to replace Mayor Eric Adams.

More than 930,000 New Yorkers cast their ballots so far in the city’s Democratic primary, with more than half withstanding record temperatures to vote at polling stations on Tuesday.

All of New York City is being asked to conserve power with Tuesday's extreme heat straining power systems and causing problems around the Tri-State Area. New York City's emergency notification system put out the alert from Con Edison asking New Yorkers to limit their power use.

The heat wave has arrived. Temperatures and humidity are climbing as the tri-state heads into an expected record-shattering heat wave, where it could feel like 100 degrees or hotter through Wednesday.
