STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Staten Island residents face dangerous wind chills Sunday morning as a cold weather advisory remains in effect until 6 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.<\/a><\/p>\n

The combination of temperatures in the single digits to teens and sustained winds of 15-25 mph is creating hazardous conditions.<\/p>\n

Wind gusts are expected to increase Sunday afternoon, reaching 30-40 mph across Staten Island, with coastal areas possibly experiencing gusts up to 45 mph. <\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s high will be 23 degrees with a low of 14, continuing a trend of brutally cold conditions.<\/p>\n

According to PIX11,<\/a> 14 New Yorkers have died outdoors since the onset of the cold front.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service noted that while the wind impacts outside of wind chills are limited, residents should still take precautions against the cold.<\/p>\n

Minor coastal flooding is also affecting Staten Island shorelines Sunday due to a full moon and surge from offshore low pressure. <\/p>\n

Coastal flood advisories remain in effect for parts of New York Harbor, with the weather service warning that ice could potentially complicate matters by causing water to freeze on roadways near coastal locations.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s high tide cycle could also bring minor coastal flooding as astronomical tides will still be high with some residual surge, though northwest winds will make conditions less conducive for significant flooding.<\/p>\n

The cold weather pattern will continue through the week, with high temperatures generally around 30 degrees and lows in the teens to single digits from Monday through Friday. <\/p>\n

Wind chills during this period will be closest to advisory criteria during late Sunday night and early Monday morning but are not expected to be severe or widespread enough to warrant an extension of the cold weather advisory.<\/p>\n

After Sunday\u2019s extreme cold, New York City will experience below-normal temperatures throughout the week, though not as severe as the weekend conditions. The forecast shows consistently cold but dry weather with no significant precipitation expected in the coming days.<\/p>\n
