STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Staten Island will experience mostly rain on Tuesday night as a quick-moving frontal system moves through the region.
While areas north of New York City are under Winter Weather Advisories, Staten Island residents can expect primarily rain with temperatures remaining above freezing.
The precipitation is forecast to begin Tuesday evening and continue into early Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures in Staten Island and across New York City will be warm enough for this to be mainly a rain event, though there is a slight chance of brief mixing with snow or ice pellets at times.
The National Weather Service expects precipitation to last for approximately 3 to 6 hours Tuesday night before ending around 1 a.m. Wednesday. Total rainfall amounts will be light, with less than a tenth of an inch expected. Winds will shift from southerly to westerly overnight as the cold front passes through the area.
For New York City, Tuesday will be warmer than previous days with temperatures climbing through the 40s. A few light snow showers or flurries are possible Tuesday afternoon, but no accumulation is expected in Staten Island.
Wednesday will bring clearing conditions as high pressure builds back into the region. Northwest winds will increase behind the frontal passage, with gusts potentially reaching 20 to 25 mph. Temperatures will cool slightly but remain seasonal.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the National Weather Service indicates a chance for rain and/or snow Sunday into Monday, though there remains significant uncertainty in the forecast. Current modeling suggests this system could bring mixed precipitation to the region, but it’s too early to determine specific impacts for Staten Island.
