N.Y. weather: Timeline for NYC snow, latest accumulation projections

New York’s Staten Island. Those who are hoping to avoid heavy snowfall on Monday appear to be in luck.

A forecaster predicted that the storm affecting Staten Island would dump roughly an inch before tapering down in the late afternoon.

AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bob Larson informed the Advance/SILive.com that snow measurements had started at John F. Kennedy International Airport and Central Park by 9 a.m.

By lunchtime, the streets and sidewalks of Staten Island were coated. At 1:15 p.m., Dongan Hills recorded a measurement of about 0.5 inches.

On secondary routes, however, the downpour created slick conditions due to a coating of slush and snow.

The majority of roads are still wet, and the city’s Notify NYC notice system is recommended on X, formerly Twitter. Any untreated surfaces could becoming icy and slippery during the evening commute because the temperature is still below freezing. Travel with additional caution this afternoon and tonight.

@NWSNewYorkNYThere will be light snowfall through 3 p.m., according to the NYC Special Weather Statement. Most roadways will continue to be damp. Any untreated surfaces could becoming icy and slippery during the evening commute because the temperature is still below freezing. Travel with additional caution this afternoon and tonight.

According to Larson, the system was anticipated to affect Staten Island for six hours.

According to Larson, the snow was predicted to fall at a rate of less than a quarter of an inch per hour. The weather expert predicted that the borough would gain up to one inch.

According to Larson, wind speed will also drop while it’s snowing compared to the previous several days.

According to Larson, the snow will continue to bring temperatures in the lower 30s and mild winds.

However, the meteorologist predicts that winds will reach 15 to 25 mph with gusts as high as 30 mph when the storm moves out later Monday. “It will feel like the single digits to lower teens as temperatures drop into the lower 20s,” he warned.

According to AccuWeather, the windy and cold weather is forecast to last until Thursday, with lows of around 20 degrees and highs in the upper 20s to lower 30s.

According to the meteorologist, wind chills will cause peak temperatures to be in the teens and low temperatures to be in the single digits. Every day should provide some sunshine along with some clouds.

According to AccuWeather, snow accumulations on Monday will differ greatly depending on the region. Larson said locations closer to New York City, such as central New Jersey, may receive 1-3 inches, while areas south of Staten Island, such as Baltimore and D.C., are expected to receive 6-10 inches.

North of Staten Island, even smaller quantities are anticipated.

According to Larson, the Bronx and Yonkers might just receive a quarter-inch dusting. This cyclone is predicted to bring little to no snow to areas further north, such Albany, New York, and Hartford, Connecticut.

Although specifics are yet unknown, AccuWeather is keeping an eye on another possible storm on Saturday. It might bring rain, sleet, and snow, with the possibility of total rain around the coast.
