STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — This week, Staten Island could consistently see temperatures in the 40s, but not before one more chance of snow, according to AccuWeather.
Sunday will see temperatures creep into the low 40s, with the sun peeking through the clouds sporadically. However, snow could be in the forecast Sunday night into Monday morning.
Temperatures will drop overnight, and a snow advisory is in effect between 9 p.m. Sunday and 5 a.m. Monday, according to AccuWeather’s forecast.
The snow might not last for long, however, as Monday is set for a high of 40 degrees and a low of 35.
Tuesday could see the start of things thawing out, with a mix of clouds and sunshine bringing a high of 50, AccuWeather predicts.
Wednesday will bring some sporadic rain and a high of 45 degrees, which should help shrink down those leftover snow banks. Thursday will see the sun return with a high of 48 and a low of 37.
Friday and Saturday will feature periods of rain throughout both days, with high temperatures hovering in the mid-40s.
Sunday will be sunny, according to AccuWeather, but colder temperatures could start returning. While a high of 40 degrees is predicted, Sunday night into Monday could drop down to 25 degrees.
According to Matt Benz, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, the storm from Sunday night into Monday is part of a possible west-to-east storm could head toward the southern East Coast, but could hook back upward toward the New York area.
While forecasters don’t expect this to be a heavy snowstorm due to warmer conditions, possible accumulation is still unknown.
This weather is seemingly part of a wider pattern of a slower transition to spring weather.
In fact, the general Northeast region is among those areas of the nation expected to contend with a “seasonal tug-of-war,” an AccuWeather spring forecast noted.
