Subfreezing temperatures, sunshine forecast for Trump inauguration
Subfreezing temperatures and sunshine are forecast for President-elect Trump’s inauguration Monday.
The bitter cold follows a period of wintry weather in the Washington area that featured a few inches of snow, freezing temperatures and blustery winds.
According to a forecast from the National Weather Service (NWS), the high temperature for next Monday will be close to 24 degrees, alongside some sunshine. The low will approach 6 degrees Monday night and it will be partly cloudy, the agency said.
The president-elect has a history of commenting on the weather of his Inauguration Day, almost welcoming a chance of rain on the first day of his presidency eight years ago.
”It may rain, it may not rain. It doesn’t matter. I don’t care,” Trump said prior to his first inauguration. “If it really pours, that’s OK, because people will realize it’s my real hair, and that’s OK. It might be a mess, but they’re going to see that it’s my real hair.”
Trump’s first few days in office are set to be cold as well, with the NWS forecasting a high of close to 20 degrees Tuesday and close to 22 degrees Wednesday.
