STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Dangerously cold wind chills as low as -10 degrees will affect Staten Island residents through Monday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a Cold Weather Advisory for Richmond County until 10 a.m. Monday.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in the single digits and low teens combined with weakening winds will create hazardous conditions for anyone outdoors. Residents should limit time outside and wear appropriate cold weather clothing, including hats and gloves. The Cold Weather Advisory indicates potential danger from prolonged exposure to these conditions.
Wind chills will gradually improve later Monday as winds continue to diminish. High pressure building from the west will bring slightly milder conditions by afternoon, though temperatures will remain well below normal. Monday’s actual temperatures will stay far above the all-time record low of -15 degrees set in 1934 for New York City.
Tuesday brings the next chance for precipitation as a frontal system moves through the region. The National Weather Service forecast indicates light snow or a wintry mix is possible Tuesday into Tuesday night, though accumulations are expected to be minimal in Staten Island and the New York City area.
The cold pattern will continue through the end of the week with high temperatures mainly in the lower to mid-30s degrees and overnight lows in the lower 20s. Wednesday will feature another shot of cold air with gusty northwest winds up to 25 mph. Thursday and Friday will be the coldest days of the week, with temperatures running about five to eight degrees below normal.
Some warming to near normal temperatures is possible by the weekend, though confidence in this forecast remains low. There is also a chance of rain or snow late next weekend into early next week as weather patterns shift, but specific details remain uncertain at this time.
