Space Needle keeping close eye on wind conditions for New Year's Eve fireworks

Space Needle officials and their pyrotechnic partners are monitoring wind conditions ahead of the New Year's at the Needle fireworks. Strong gusts are expected around midnight on Dec. 31, which could jeopardize the annual show.

Grab a rain coat and dress warm if you're coming to the Seattle Center for the New Year's Eve celebration.

Breezy showers are likely, according to KING 5 Weather. Temperatures are expected in the low to mid-40s with southwest winds between 15-25 mph.

The fireworks are threatened if winds are sustained at more than 25 mph, or gusts surpass 30-35 mph. The laser light show will go on despite any weather conditions.
