Winter nights, countdowns, and fireworks all share the common theme for ringing in the new year. Good morning WABBLES and welcome to your final weekend forecast of 2023. It’s been quite a year with the weather around here, but we still have one last weekend to enjoy. With more weather from the west entering the region, we will see how it will affect your plans for New Year’s Eve. Who knows, some of us may see a few snowflakes in our forecast. Grab your friends and celebrate, the countdown begins now.

NEW YEAR’S EVE

We’ll be wrapping up our first round of winter weather this season with mostly sunny skies and highs in the 50s for the final day of the year. Few clouds in the sky to start our day so everything should be fine until we reach the afternoon hours. Whether you are indoors for the countdown or out in the town to party, you should bundle up for the evening. Cloud cover increases as we head into the overnight with temperatures in the 20s to ring in the new year.
