Staten Island residents can expect gusty northeast winds Tuesday with highs in the mid to upper 50s, according to the National Weather Service. A few light rain showers are possible, but conditions will remain mainly dry through Tuesday.
Wind gusts of 25 to 30 mph are expected to develop Tuesday along coastal areas as pressure gradients steepen between high pressure in Southeast Canada and low pressure moving into the Atlantic. The breezy conditions, combined with increasing clouds this afternoon, will keep temperatures cooler with highs reaching only the mid to upper 50s
Those elevated wind gusts are forecast to continue over the next couple of days in New York City, as noted by the weather service.
On Thursday, a storm will bring nor’easter-like weather impacts to Staten Island, with the weather service forecasting potential advisory-level wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph. Heavy rainfall is expected Thursday night, with potential for minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Residents should also be aware of possible minor to moderate coastal flooding during high tide cycles late Thursday into Thursday night, particularly in areas near New York Harbor.
Temperatures will gradually warm through midweek, with highs reaching the lower 60s by Thursday. Any thunderstorms that develop Thursday could bring torrential downpours and potentially stronger wind gusts.
Friday through the weekend will see mainly dry conditions as the low pressure system departs and high pressure builds in. However, windy conditions will continue Friday into Saturday with temperatures remaining in the 50s for highs and 40s for overnight lows.
The weather service indicates another coastal low could impact the region with more showers and wind at the beginning of next week, though forecast confidence decreases with time.
