New Year's Eve & Day Forecast


As you are preparing to ring in 2019, expect the rain from today to transition to some light snow/wintry mix tonight. It is going to be a chilly start to the new year with highs New Year's Day and Wednesday only topping out in the 20s. 30s and 40s arrive as we end off the week and head into the weekend.
While it will be a chilly start to 2019, thankfully it won't be as cold as last year. Last year we set the record for coldest high temperature on New Year's Day of -1° and tied the lowest low temperature of -13°. While we might see a few flakes early January 1st, 2019, we won't see as much as we did back in 1942. We saw 9.0" New Year's Day of 1942, which made it the most snowfall on record for New Year's Day.
Not only is it going to be rainy today throughout the Stateline, but also in Times Square for the ball drop. Those ringing in the new year from Times Square are going to need the ponchos with rain, heavy at times, likely. It will be rather breezy too.
