STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Staten Island residents can expect dry but cold conditions through Thursday night, with daytime temperatures remaining about 10 degrees below normal. <\/p>\n
The National Weather Service warns that a more significant weather event is approaching this weekend.<\/p>\n
According to the National Weather Service, an Alberta clipper system will move through the region Friday night, bringing a chance of light snow with accumulations expected to be minimal\u2014only a dusting to an inch. The main concern follows immediately behind this system as an Arctic cold front will usher in frigid air and strong winds Saturday into Sunday.<\/p>\n
Saturday will start with temperatures in the upper teens to upper 20s degrees during the morning, but readings will fall throughout the afternoon as the Arctic air mass settles. Northwest winds will become strong Saturday, reaching 20-30 mph with gusts of 40-50 mph. Wind chills by Sunday morning could reach around 15 degrees below zero across the New York City metro area.<\/p>\n
The National Weather Service indicates that cold weather alerts will likely be needed for Saturday night into Sunday morning due to the dangerous wind chill values. Sunday\u2019s high temperatures could approach record low maximum temperatures, with the current record for New York City being just 8 degrees set in 1895.<\/p>\n
Winds will gradually diminish Sunday into Monday, though conditions will remain brisk with gusts of 25-35 mph on Sunday. Overnight temperatures Sunday into Monday morning will be extremely cold, potentially approaching record low temperatures, though not expected to reach the all-time record low of 15 degrees below zero set in 1934 for New York City.<\/p>\n
The cold snap follows what has already been a colder than normal pattern, with temperatures running 10-15 degrees below normal through Thursday night. While this weekend\u2019s Arctic outbreak will be brief, it represents the most significant cold air intrusion of the season so far.<\/p>\n
