STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — As a potential precursor to our first blizzard later this week, flurries are blowing in certain areas of Staten Island Tuesday morning.
During the morning rush hour, snowflakes were observed in several communities, including Emerson Hill.
AccuWeather.com says Tuesday’s morning commute will bring temperatures in the 30s with partly cloudy skies.
AccuWeather.com predicts Tuesday’s high temperature to reach 43 degrees.
According to AccuWeather.com, if snow falls on Wednesday night, there won’t be any accumulation in our borough until Thursday morning around rush hour.
It is anticipated that the cold snap that swept throughout New York City last weekend will persist in the days ahead.
Meteorologist details forecast
AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Tom Kines says wintry weather, with a risk of flurries, is expected through this coming week.
According to Kines, there won’t be any snow accumulation on Wednesday night or Thursday. He clarified that the cold front that will move across the region early on Thursday will bring with it some heavier snow showers, which may make it harder to see during the morning rush hour.
According to Kines, the local temperature is above freezing, therefore I don’t think it would build up. There’s a good chance that Thursday morning may bring some more intense snowfall.
Forecasters are keeping an eye on a potentially significant storm that might make landfall in the city late this weekend or early next week. As New Yorkers enter the second week of December, the storm may bring rain, snow, or ice.
Although Kines pointed out that the situation might alter, AccuWeather is currently monitoring it.
Those who are hoping for nice weather will be disappointed to learn that it is not coming this week.
Temperatures could reach far into the 40s on Wednesday for a short while, according to Kines. However, there won’t be any extended periods of high temperatures, such as those in the 50s, anytime soon.
Another blast of colder air will arrive after Thursday, bringing Friday’s temperatures back into the 30s when the wind blows.
