New York’s ball-drop celebration is more than a century old. One important fact about this year: You are likely to get wet.

The New Year’s Eve weather forecast calls for showers on Tuesday night — but anyone ringing in the new year in Times Square won’t be allowed to bring along an umbrella. Thousands of people will pack into Times Square to watch the ball drop at midnight to witness the iconic moment.

It’s no surprise that a year filled with extreme weather won’t be going out quietly with stormy conditions on the way for parts of the United States on New Year’s Eve, including some of the most populated areas of the Northeast.

Edinburgh’s famous New Year celebrations were canceled due to safety concerns as stormy weather hit the Scottish capital during one of the busiest times for the tourist industry.
