*Sukkos Weather: Nor’easter Heads Toward the Area* A nor’easter — a coastal storm bringing strong northeast winds — is expected to affect Staten Island over the first days of Sukkos, with 1–2 inches of rain and wind gusts around 40 mph, particularly along the coast. Rain could begin Friday afternoon or evening and continue on and off through Sunday, with daytime temperatures in the mid-60s. Coastal flooding is a concern along the borough’s eastern shore, especially around Friday evening’s and Shabbos morning’s high tides. Residents should secure sukkahs and loose outdoor items before Yom Tov. Those in flood-prone areas should move vehicles to higher ground and avoid walking or driving through floodwater. The timing of improving conditions remains uncertain. *_Join the Island Media WhatsApp Status_* https://wa.me/19297271071?text=Subscribe *_Join the Island News and Updates group_* https://chat.whatsapp.com/Bi5MGP3Nx1qJUoVkKmYW5j
