As we get set to usher in the new year next week, the weekend leading up to all the celebrations is looking soggy.

On the WHOW Morning Show Friday, Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional Radio it will be mild but rain should start moving in late Saturday.

Shimon indicates it won't be bitter cold to usher in the new year but it will be getting colder after a nice mild stretch to wrap up the calendar year 2024.

Outlooks aren't showing intense cold coming into the picture likely at all in January although Shimon believes we could start to see some of that cold air in February.

We'll have more with Shimon next week on Regional Radio.
