Everyone always asks what will the weather be like on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day and we want to provide you with an hourly forecast according to the latest National Weather Service and Weather.com forecast.

Beginning at noon on New Year’s Eve temperatures will be between 29-31 degrees and the skies will be sunny. Temperatures hold steady from noon until 4 p.m. between 28-30 degrees with clear and sunny skies.

After 5 p.m. temperatures begin to dip slightly down to about 26-28 degrees. From 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. temperatures hold steady between 24-27 degrees with clear skies.

From 9 p.m. until midnight, which is when the ball drops, temperatures will range between 23-26 degrees again with beautiful clear skies.

Early New Year’s Day, temperatures will range between 21-23 degrees through 5 a.m. and then it starts to warm up around noon with temperatures in the 28-31 range with sunny skies.

By 3 p.m. on New Year’s Day temperatures will range between 31-34 degrees, once again with sunny skies.

Thursday night temperatures will range between 23-27 degrees and winds will begin to kick up between 13-16 miles per hour.

And it looks like there is a good chance, 70 percent to be exact, of snow beginning late Saturday afternoon and continuing into late Saturday. Temperatures on Saturday night will hover around freezing. No snowfall predictions have been made yet.

Next week, just in time for the return to work for many and school for students, temperatures will struggle to reach the freezing mark on Monday and Tuesday. But at least it will be dry and there will be plenty of sun.

Have a happy and safe New Year!
