Staten Island residents can expect dry and cool weather conditions to persist through Friday, with high pressure dominating the regional weather pattern. However, meteorologists are tracking a developing weather system that could bring rain chances over the upcoming weekend.
Thursday's forecast calls for continued dry conditions across the borough, with high pressure maintaining stable atmospheric conditions throughout the day. Daytime temperatures are expected to reach the upper 40s, providing crisp but comfortable conditions for outdoor activities. The persistent high pressure system has been responsible for keeping precipitation away from the New York metropolitan area over recent days.
Overnight conditions Thursday into Friday will feature some notable changes as the weather pattern begins to shift. Low temperatures may occur earlier in the evening than typically expected, as cloud cover starts to move into the region during the late Thursday night hours. This cloud development signals the approaching change in weather patterns that will affect the area heading into the weekend.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the stable high pressure system that has dominated the region's weather is expected to weaken and move away from the area. This shift in atmospheric conditions will create opportunities for precipitation to return to Staten Island and surrounding areas, marking the end of the current dry spell that residents have been experiencing.
