STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Staten Island residents can expect a warm and mostly dry week, with temperatures climbing into the 70s and 80s and a slight chance of brief afternoon showers. High pressure will build across the region, bringing summer-like conditions and potentially record-breaking heat by midweek.
The forecast calls for temperatures rising steadily, reaching the upper 70s on Tuesday and potentially hitting the low 80s by Wednesday. A surface trough moving through the area later Monday afternoon could produce an isolated shower or sprinkle, though meteorologists note the chance is low. Winds will be light and southerly, around 5 to 10 mph, with occasional sea breezes in the afternoon.
