President-elect Donald Trump is forecast to have a cold start to his second term, as the Monday inauguration is projected to be one of the coldest on record.
Trump’s swearing-in ceremony on the West Front of the Capitol at noon Monday is forecast to be “brutally cold,” according to the National Weather Service. The temperatures in the Washington area are expected to be in the teens and lower 20s degrees on Monday, with wind chill in the region ranging from -5 to 15 degrees.
“Strong cold advection will ensue locally behind Sunday’s system, with temperatures crashing Sunday
night into Monday, and remaining brutally cold through Tuesday and Wednesday. All signs point to this being the coldest three day stretch of weather in 5 years,” the weather service’s forecast Thursday said.
