STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 New York City residents can expect a relatively mild impact from two snow systems moving through the region this weekend, according to AccuWeather.<\/a><\/p>\n

The first system is expected to arrive early Saturday morning, AccuWeather meteorologist Chad Merrill told the Advance\/SILive.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll get a little bit of snow that\u2019ll fall toward daybreak tomorrow mixed with rain at times. Little to no snow accumulation in the city, but there will be about 1 to 3 inches well to the north and west of the city,\u201d Merrill said.<\/p>\n

A second snow event will follow closely behind, moving in Sunday morning and concluding in the evening. <\/p>\n

Again, New York City is expected to see minimal snowfall, but other parts of the region will experience more noticeable effects.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you get into central and eastern parts of Long Island, there\u2019s going to be a little bit of accumulation,\u201d Merrill explained. <\/p>\n

He predicted that areas in central Long Island might see a \u201ccoating to an inch\u201d of snow, while eastern Long Island could accumulate \u201cabout 1 to 3 inches of snow\u201d on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Staten Island is not expected to face strong winds or the same slippery conditions as Long Island, Merrill said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe winds with this storm aren\u2019t going to be impressive,\u201d he noted. \u201cWe\u2019re only talking 5-10 mph or so, with gusts of 15 or 20 on Monday afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cold front<\/p>\n

The weekend snow events are just the beginning of a cold front that will settle over New York City and surrounding areas next week. Merrill described it as a \u201cpretty chilly pattern\u201d with substantial temperature drops expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the city, once we get into Monday night, lows will be near 21 degrees and then probably into the upper teens on Tuesday night,\u201d he forecasted. <\/p>\n

Merrill emphasized that the entire New York City region should prepare for the colder temperatures that will follow these snow systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 New York City residents can expect a relatively mild impact from two snow systems…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":100160,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":{"0":"post-102867","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-staten-island","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-nyc","11":"tag-staten-island","12":"tag-staten-island-headlines","13":"tag-staten-island-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
