Staten Island Chuck is on a hot streak.
Latest York City’s “weatherhog” didn’t see his shadow early Thursday morning in the course of the Staten Island Zoo’s annual Groundhog Day ceremony, signaling that springtime is near.
Because the century-old tradition goes, had Chuck seen his shadow, Latest York City can be left with six more weeks of winter.
While the West Brighton ceremony was closed to the general public, students from Susan Wagner High School who will likely be tracking Chuck’s prediction cheered on the plump prognosticator.
The small crowd gathered erupted into cheers as Chuck appeared.
One onlooker noted, “I don’t see a shadow.”
Others could be heard chiming in from a Facebook livestream of the event, yelling, “No shadow!”
Chuck has an 80% accuracy rate in his predictions, in keeping with the zoo’s board of trustees President William Frew — whereas Chuck’s fellow prognosticator Punxsutawney Phil, who has a mere 39% accuracy — regrettably spotted his shadow early Thursday morning.
Mayor Eric Adams didn’t attend the event like his predecessor, Bill de Blasio, who eventually began to skip the tradition after he infamously dropped Chuck’s 10-month-old stand-in, Charlotte, in 2014.
Charlotte fell nearly six feet, and died of acute internal injuries per week later.
To play it secure, Adams sent in a pre-recorded message for the gang taken from the protection of City Hall.
