Staten Island residents can expect a brisk and chilly Thursday with gusty northwest winds and temperatures struggling to reach the upper-50s, according to the National Weather Service. Wind chill will make it feel even colder, with morning temperatures feeling like the 30s and 40s.
The weather service forecasts northwest winds of 15-20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph throughout Thursday. Skies will be sunny after some early mid-level clouds, providing clear but cold conditions. Residents should dress in layers and be prepared for significant wind chill, particularly in the morning hours.
The cold snap is expected to continue into Friday, with temperatures slightly moderating but remaining cool. Some high clouds may filter the sunshine, but temperatures should remain in the 50s and low 60s. Friday night could bring patchy frost in sheltered areas, though widespread frost is not anticipated.
Looking ahead, Sunday appears to be the warmest day of the upcoming period, with temperatures potentially reaching the upper 60s to lower 70s, which is about three to five degrees above normal. A cold front is expected to move through Sunday night into Monday, bringing the possibility of light showers.
Residents should be prepared for continued cool conditions and windy weather, with gradual warming expected over the weekend. Outdoor activities should take into account the chilly temperatures and potential wind chill factor.
