Times Square fraudsters could face hours of dank waiting until 2025

Many Americans will be ringing in the new year with umbrellas and ponchos as a rain event is expected to flood much of the East and Northwest coasts.

A look from the FOX Forecast Center shows a storm system moving into the Interstate 95 corridor in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

This means that major cities, such as New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC, will likely experience rain as the clock approaches midnight.

For the million or so people who will pack Times Square for the traditional ballgame to ring in 2025, plan for rain at times with temperatures in the 40s.

Temperatures will be cool for most of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, where a storm system could produce snow. So those who may have missed out on a white Christmas could see some powder on New Year’s Eve.

The Pacific Northwest will also see precipitation on New Year’s Eve as a parade of river-type atmospheric storms continues. Expect periods of rain in the lowlands and more snow in the mountains.

In contrast, dry conditions will be found in the Southwest, Southern Plains, and the Deep South, along with Alaska and Hawaii.
