HuffPost
The high temperature for the day is projected to be below freezing, at 24 degrees, and could drop to a low of 9.
The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump is expected to be moved indoors as freezing temperatures move in.
On Monday, Trump will be sworn in as president for the second time amid freezing weather, with a projected high temperature of just 24 degrees and a low of 9.
The freezing weather is projected to be D.C.’s coldest inauguration day in 40 years. President Ronald Reagan’s inauguration in 1985 was just 7 degrees and described as “sunny, but bitter cold” by the National Weather Service.
Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will instead be sworn into office inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, CNN reported Friday. Trump’s team is also reportedly in talks with the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies about how to handle the thousands of people planning to travel to the National Mall to witness the ceremony.
