Showers will move into Staten Island Saturday evening as temperatures rise into the 50s, according to the National Weather Service. A cold front will then sweep through overnight, bringing gusty winds that will continue through Sunday.
The weather service expects rain to develop across Staten Island after sunset Saturday, with showers reaching the NYC metro area by early evening. Temperatures will start in the 20s and 30s Saturday morning before rebounding to the upper 40s in the afternoon. As a warm front approaches from the southwest, temperatures will continue rising into the 50s through the evening hours while cloud cover thickens.
Wind conditions will intensify significantly by Sunday morning. According to the weather service, west-northwest winds will increase Sunday morning with gusts reaching 30 to 35 mph across the region. A few gusts could potentially exceed 40 mph during the day. These winds will make Sunday feel much colder, with high temperatures likely occurring overnight into early morning before remaining steady or falling slightly through the day.
Monday will be the colder day of the week with temperatures only reaching the mid-40s, though gusty winds of 25 mph to 30 mph will continue to make it feel like the 30s throughout much of the day. Predominantly dry weather is expected through early next week.
The forecast shows improving conditions by Tuesday as winds diminish with light to calm conditions developing by midweek. Temperatures will remain below normal through Wednesday before moderating to normal Thursday and slightly above normal by Friday. The weather should remain dry through at least Thursday afternoon, with rain chances increasing Thursday night into Friday.
The weather service indicates that there is uncertainty regarding the track and timing of a low pressure system that could affect the region late in the week, but it appears likely to pass to the north at some point during that timeframe.
