The forecast has become more certain that Friday is going to be cloudy, damp and cool for President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony and the subsequent parade. Given the crowds and tight security at the event, we’re recommending raincoats and ponchos instead of umbrellas — even for the nonticketed areas.
If you’re heading downtown Friday, expect temperatures to be in the 40s. The high looks like it will be in the upper 40s — maybe 50 degrees on the nose — but that’s not going to feel warm with showers and gray, cloudy skies. Dress warmly with a waterproof outer layer, which has the added benefit of blocking the breeze.
The Secret Service is prohibiting umbrellas in the ticketed areas of the Mall. Even in the nonticketed areas, “any other items determined to be potential safety hazards” will be confiscated, which doesn’t entirely rule out umbrellas. If you’re going to take an umbrella, I suggest something small and cheap that, in the worst case, you won’t regret handing over to authorities.

Good. Rain will keep the riff-raff away
Rain makes snowflake melt even faster
funny the radar looks pretty clear. is this @noaa.gov #fakenews?
Not unusual WX for January in DC. The parties are inside.
It’s fine. Just order a couple of Marines in their dress blues to hold umbrellas like the outgoing pres did.
Rain is around 3 pm, parade time
WeatherBug is saying 30-40% chance of light rain from 11AM until 1PM with 45 degrees.
The bikers won’t mind.
We ride for benefits in downpours, all the time.
The snowflakes may melt, though.
This area can change on a dime and produce nothing, because the fronts smack into the Appalachians and get zotted.
I drove the gas hog Yukon to town the other night, for a “freezing rain” that never happened.
We’re a weather twilight zone, kinda.
The jimmie kümmel audience cheered when the host mentioned it was going to rain for the inauguration. That wouldn’t have happened with Obama because it was a sacred moment. You had to silence your cellphone and respect the dignity of the moment. But because Trump is white, it’s okay.
When it rains, it POURS!!
Well,my Cleveland umbrella has a nice sharp point on it!
It’s the Leftists who melt under these conditions.
So sad.
;D
Rain will play hell with their stupid Papier-mâché puppets, for sure.
>:)
dilution is the solution to pollution.
Rain will dampen any protesting loosers’ skunk-like odor.
They’ll just screw off to their hotel rooms and get high and shriek on twitter with no pics to back it up.
In other words, business as usual.
:)
If you’re going to be there with the bikers, could you post some pics?
What is WX?
