STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A series of winter weather systems are set to impact the New York City area with an Arctic cold front arriving Thursday, followed by chances for light snow accumulation early next week, according to AccuWeather.

Chad Merrill, a senior AccuWeather meteorologist, detailed the upcoming weather pattern that would bring colder temperatures and several opportunities for snow to the area, including Staten Island.

Unlike other parts of the Northeast that experienced heavier snow Tuesday with accumulations of up to six inches, the New York City area is expected to see modest snowfall amounts from these upcoming systems.

“There’s an Arctic cold front that’s going to come through on Thursday,” Merrill said. “It’ll bring a very cold air mass in for sure.”
