Another Cold Night on Staten Island
A non-profit organization called Fuel Relief Fund delivered free gas to residents on Staten Island Sunday. News 4's Chris Glorioso reports.
Forecasters say the looming coastal storm that threatened ongoing cleanup and recovery efforts in New York and New Jersey after the devastation of Sandy is no longer expected to be as powerful as initially feared.
Computer models shifted east with the path of the nor'easter, predicting the storm would miss a good part of far northwest New Jersey, the Catskills and the Poconos and carry far less forceful wind gusts than first forecast.
Meteorologists say coastal flooding is still possible with the system at times of high tide, but wind gusts will level off in the 50 mph range, not the 60 mph to 70 mph range, and waves are not expected to tower as high over already eroded beaches and waterfront properties pummeled by Sandy.
Forecasters say waves up to 10 feet high could still cause minor to moderate flooding along the coast, where dunes decimated by Sandy have left the already water-logged shore more vulnerable.
TRACK THE STORM WITH REAL-TIME RADAR
Still, with high winds and more rain on already-saturated grounds, New Jersey Gov. Chris warned residents who have recently had power restored that they might lose it again.
"We're going to take a step back," he said.
Meanwhile, temperatures have dropped in the region. Temperatures on Tuesday night are expected to dip into the 20s in suburban areas. Forecasters expect temperatures to linger in the 30s Wednesday.
Several inches of wet snow may accumulate in central and northern New Jersey, New York City and the lower Hudson Valley late Wednesday afternoon into the evening, making for a potentially sloppy evening commute.
The snowy mix is expected to change to rain Thursday night as temperatures rise into the mid-30s. The weather begins to improve by Friday, with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-50s. The situation looks even better by the weekend, with forecasters predicting mild, sunny weather with a high of 55 degrees for Saturday and even warmer temperatures for Sunday.
