1. You know she loves us best

[Farmgirl1961]

2. Maybe sleet and hail???? Plagues and pestilence?

[Control-Z]

4. A bolt of lightning

would be nice too.

[dalton99a]

10. +1

[bdamomma]

22. a winter thunderstorm

that would be interesting even mother earth is protesting.

[bullwinkle428]

3. PLEASE LET THERE BE WIND.

[Rorey]

6. Gale force wind would be such fun

trump's fake hair would be blowing up in the air and his lizard faced wife would look ridiculous too. The only bad thing is that the orange puke would claim that the weather was to blame for poor attendance.

8. He's gonna need a lotta bobby pins

[Mellomugwump]

30. YES, YES!

[democratisphere]

5. Drumpf's inauguration should be a rainout and rescheduled

four years from now.

[elleng]

7. 47 degree high is NOT cold

(except for beach babies!) And 6 mph se winds? NBD!

Sorry I can't provide worse weather. I won't be there anyway.

11. It is if you are wet. And there's a 100% chance of rain for Friday.

https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USDC0001:1:US

Water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air, so although hypothermia is usually associated with freezing temperatures, it is also associated with temperature in the 40s coupled with wind and/or rain. https://www.princeton.edu/~oa/safety/hypocold.shtml

Being wet with the temperature at or below 47 could definitely put you into hypothermia.

[elleng]

12. Yes, it will rain.

[CentralMass]

29. 47 and rain is miserable.

[elleng]

32. When I lived and worked in town it wasn't so awful,

but circumstances were different then!

[Elwood P Dowd]

9. 100 percent rain chance according to the weather sites. Hope its pouring and nasty all day.

[SaschaHM]

13. I've been watching Emerald City lately (I'm a sucker for anything Oz adjacent)

SO the thought of a house being dropped on some folks has been occupying a twisted fantasy of mine.

[MiniMe]

14. Afternoon rain, and looks to be close to 50 that day

At least according to the local forecast, and DC is local to me.

Afternoon rain possible. Highs near 50 and lows near 40

[queentonic]

15. Rain on Swearing &$@*** In Ceremony

According to Weather Underground, the heaviest rain will be around noon - when the Orange Man gets sworn in.

20. That's not true. WU says rain "later in the day"

Which is consistent with all of the local forecasts here in the DC area.

The WeatherUnderground forecast shows it as being 49-50 degrees and overcast at the time of the swearing in and speech. The rain doesn't come until 3 pm or later -- after parade.

16. Terrific.

[ffr]

17. Please weather forecast. Be right on the money!

Only thing that would be better is if it were dropping baseball sized hail.

I hope WJC & HRC find an excuse out of it all.

[LA-Italian]

26. Baseball-Size Hail

I'll start now doing a rain dance for baseball-sized hail to furiously hit PETOUS making him unable to be sworn in and then all sunny and clear on Jan. 21. If only...

[LeftInTX]

36. We had that at our house this year

Damaging stuff. Lots of ruined cars. My husband's was totaled.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. This actually is NOT good news

It will be his excuse for the low turnout for his installation. I hope BOTH days are sunny and comfortable.

[bdamomma]

23. who will he scapegoat

if he has a low attendance take your pick.........Hillary, President Obama, his enemies, the CIA and the list goes on and on.

[jmg257]

19. Boo! Almost a million people there - most to protest...what fun is standing around in the rain?

It'll be much more boring Friday.

21. It is could rain on Saturday, too.

According to Angela Fritz at the Capitol Weather Gang, a part of the WaPo organization.

The weather we have here today is what Friday and Saturday will have. Grey, cool, drizzly.

Of course, it is hard to be completely accurate that many days in advance.


Here is what the website says:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/01/17/d-c-area-forecast-showers-today-and-a-warm-week-chance-of-rain-for-inauguration/

Inauguration Day (Friday) contends with rain. Timing is tricky, but at this moment, it seems like it would affect mainly the afternoon. It would vary from light to moderate intensity and clouds dominate the day, too, so otherwise warm temperatures may not end up feeling that warm. Layers would be a good choice if you’re going to be outside for most of the day. Highs are in the lower to middle 50s. More showers are possible Friday night with lows in the 40s. Confidence: Medium

The weekend aims for partly to mostly cloudy skies most of the time with shower chances especially toward Saturday night and heavier rain potential Sunday. Highs range through the warm 50s with lows in the middle 30 to low 40s. Confidence: Medium

24. Saturday night.

[CanonRay]

27. Maybe Trump can emulate William Henry Harrison

[WhiteTara]

28. Okay, you made me work

and look him up on google...

The only problem is that we are left with repukes forever in the chain of command and one is worse than the next!

[FSogol]

31. He-he-he....

[greatauntoftriplets]

33. Thank you, Mother Nature!

[politicat]

34. Interesting.

The projected weather for Friday as of 6 days ago was upper 60s, low 70s, clear and dry.

A call for weather work went out on a pagan network on Friday.

[WhiteTara]

37. That is great.

I love it when intent and manifestation come together.

[cry baby]

35. Don't pee on my head and tell me it's raining! nt
