Verbs or participles are omitted?

Happy New Year!

Despite a winter weather advisory in effect for much of the day in New York City and well into this evening's celebrations, more than 1 million people were expected to crowd Times Square, according to the Times Square Alliance.


In the first part, I think was or being is omitted before in effect and was or went or its participle form is omitted before well into, right?

Thanks.
