STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Just when you finished shoveling and your driveway started looking respectable again, forecasters have begun tracking a more significant snowstorm expected to roll into the area this weekend.

Staten Island and the surrounding New York City area should prepare for a winter storm expected to bring 6 inches of snow or more Sunday, accompanied by dangerous wind chills and arctic temperatures that will persist into early next week, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Rich Bann.

Saturday into Saturday night is expected to remain relatively calm. After midnight, snow becomes much more likely. However, any accumulation during this early phase will be minimal.

“Despite having snow in the area, we’re looking at maybe little to no accumulation,” Bann noted.

The main event is expected Sunday as a weather system moving up from the Plains reaches the East Coast. The combination of a cold air mass over land and relatively warm water will create conditions that bring a 90% to 100% chance of snow to the area.

“Based on some of the guidance I’m seeing, there’s a pretty good chance that you’re going to be looking at 6 or more inches of snow,” Bann said.

Sunday’s high is expected to reach only 20 to 25 degrees, with wind chills dropping to around zero. Winds will be strong enough to cause blowing and drifting snow, though conditions won’t reach classic nor’easter levels.

Snow will continue into Monday before tapering off late Monday morning or early afternoon. Monday’s high temperature will again reach only around 25 degrees.

Behind the storm, bitter cold air from Canada will settle over the region. By Monday night, low temperatures in downtown Manhattan could drop to around 10 degrees, with wind chills falling to 5 below zero. Outlying areas can expect wind chills between 5 and 10 degrees.

The snow is expected to be dry and fluffy rather than heavy.

“If this were closer to freezing, that would be perfect snowman weather,” Bann said. “Instead, this will just be good snowman weather.”

Residents should dress in layers, make sure they’ve picked up the requisite milk, eggs and bread, and take precautions against dangerous cold and wind chill values.

And just like that, winter isn’t done with us yet.
