ABC News
Temperatures will be near freezing on New Year's Eve when the ball drops and showers are possible. In California, warnings are in effect for dangerous, high waves.
As the holiday weekend starts, New York City ball drop watchers can expect potential showers while California's coast is continuing to experience extremely dangerous beach conditions with dangerously large waves, life-threatening rip currents and coastal flooding.
New York City may have showers in the area as the ball drops in Times Square. Spectators should be prepared for mist, sprinkles and potential showers.
Elsewhere, much of the country is looking dry, besides snow showers in West Virginia and western Pennsylvania and parts of western New York like Binghamton and Ithaca.
Temperatures will likely be in the upper 30s at midnight in New York City and will be hovering near the freezing mark for Kansas City, Chicago and most places in the Midwest and North. Temperatures will be in the 40s and 50s in much of the South.
The California coast remains lined with a High Surf Warning until Saturday evening.
