STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Staten Island residents should prepare for a period of light to moderate snow late Friday night into early Saturday morning, with a dusting to half an inch of accumulation possible.
The National Weather Service has increased the likelihood for snow across the region. The snow is expected to begin after midnight Friday and end by daybreak Saturday, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
Temperatures will fall from the upper 20s to mid-20s overnight, allowing snow to accumulate on most surfaces. Brief periods of moderate snow are possible, which could create slippery road conditions for early Saturday morning travelers.
Friday will remain dry but cold, with temperatures about 10 degrees below normal and northwest winds of 15-20 mph. The snow will arrive with a cold frontal passage late Friday night, potentially creating a brief period of moderate snowfall before clearing out by Saturday morning.
For the weekend, Saturday will see a return to dry conditions with west winds gusting 15-20 mph. Sunday will start dry before another weather system approaches the region Sunday night into Monday.
The National Weather Service indicates there is a low probability (10-20%) for light accumulating snowfall Sunday night into Monday. This system is expected to track primarily south of the region, limiting significant impacts for Staten Island and the rest of New York City.
Looking ahead to next week, progressive low pressure systems will bring additional rain and snow chances by mid to late week, though forecast confidence remains low regarding precipitation types at this point.
