STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Staten Island residents can expect dry but cold conditions through Thursday night before an Arctic front brings potentially dangerous cold this weekend. <\/p>\n
The National Weather Service forecasts high temperatures in the mid-30s for Tuesday with continued below-normal temperatures.<\/p>\n
According to the National Weather Service, an Arctic front will move through the region late Friday into Friday night, bringing a chance of light snow showers. While snow accumulation is expected to be minimal due to limited moisture, the main concern is the frigid air mass that will follow. Wind chills could drop to between 5 and 10 degrees below zero late Friday night.<\/p>\n
The coldest air will arrive for the weekend, with high temperatures struggling to reach the teens on Saturday and Sunday. <\/p>\n
The National Weather Service indicates that overnight lows could fall to the single digits in the New York City metro area, including Staten Island. Wind chills will likely plunge to between 10 and 20 degrees below zero Saturday night and Sunday night, creating potentially dangerous conditions for anyone outdoors.<\/p>\n
Before the Arctic blast arrives, Staten Island will experience relatively quiet weather. Wednesday and Thursday will trend colder as an offshore system develops, with temperatures remaining below normal for early February.<\/p>\n
Friday\u2019s light snow is expected to be showery or squally as the Arctic front passes through. The snow will feature high snow ratios due to the cold air already in place, though accumulations should remain light.<\/p>\n
The weekend cold snap will be accompanied by blustery conditions, with strong northwest winds adding to the extreme cold. Residents should prepare for what could be the coldest air of the winter season so far, with temperatures not expected to moderate until early next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Staten Island residents can expect dry but cold conditions through Thursday night before an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":{"0":"post-121245","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\/121245","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=121245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
