Staten Island Braces for a Week of Weather Whiplash: From Relief to Rain
After enduring a week of brutal cold, Staten Island residents can finally breathe a sigh of relief—but not for long. According to AccuWeather,Sunday’s high will climb to a relatively mild 42 degrees,accompanied by 28 mph winds that will breeze through the island amidst heavy clouds and peeking sun.
Monday will follow suit, offering more sunshine to help melt any lingering snow. However, the reprieve is short-lived. Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to bring a mix of precipitation—weather snow, rain, or both remains uncertain. The Weather Channel warns that Tuesday’s precipitation could hit during the morning commute, perhaps snarling traffic. Wednesday’s mix may persist throughout the day, adding to the week’s weather woes.Temperatures will hover in the mid-30s to low-40s, with Tuesday peaking at 38 degrees and Wednesday at 43 degrees. Thursday, however, will take a colder turn, with a high of just 34 degrees. AccuWeather describes the day as “breezy in the morning; otherwise, partly sunny and colder.” The “RealFeel” temperature will plummet to 27 degrees, so layers will be essential.
Friday will see a slight rebound, with a high of 40 degrees, but the sun will play hide-and-seek behind a blanket of clouds. As January draws to a close, the weekend will bring more clouds and increasing chances of rain. Saturday will be chillier than Sunday, with rain gear becoming a necessity for anyone planning outdoor activities.| Day | High Temp (°F) | Conditions |
