Rain did not deter a massive crowd from gathering in Times Square to ring in the New Year Tuesday night with an estimated 1 million people in attendance.

Although rain is forecast tonight for Times Square, where NYC's New Year’s Eve ball drop annually takes place, the program should be terrific and history will be made.

A variety of performers will take to the stage ahead of tonight's ball drop in New York's Times Square before a massive crowd of New Year's Eve revelers ringing in 2025. Here's what you need to know about the performers in Times Square on New Year's Eve:

A large stretch of the eastern US — including New York’s Times Square, the site of the famed New Year’s Eve celebration — is due for a blast of rain and gusty winds to ring in 2025.

As revelers throng Midtown Manhattan, some chain restaurants are offering a respite, if a pricey one. Perks include bathroom access and unlimited breadsticks.

Multiple rounds of rain are likely for those who are packing Times Square in New York City to watch the ball drop. The FOX Forecast Center said atmospheric conditions could be conducive for some thunderstorms to produce lightning that could illuminate the sky above the Big Apple.
