The forecast has become more certain that Friday is going to be cloudy, damp and cool for President-elect Donald Trumps inauguration ceremony and the subsequent parade. Given the crowds and tight security at the event, were recommending raincoats and ponchos instead of umbrellas even for the nonticketed areas.
If youre 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 thats 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 doesnt entirely rule out umbrellas. If youre going to take an umbrella, I suggest something small and cheap that, in the worst case, you wont regret handing over to authorities.

God’s way of washing away the human trash and creating a protective wall around president Trump? I’ll take it and count our blessings. I live in Arizona. Rain is a gift from heaven.

Dress warmly with a waterproof outer layer, Gee thanks, how would we know how to dress ourselves if not for our nanny media?
It really chaps me how they do this every winter - "dress in layers", "wear a hat", etc. We're all just little children who must be herded.

It's clear today but the storm system over the lower part of the midwest is making its way there now.
However, we can pray.

They've had someone do their thinking for them for so long, they don't know how to do it for themselves.

Light rain followed by a break in the clouds and a rainbow. I predict this.

Common abbreviation widely used in aviation / military. Probably in the nautical world as well.

This area can change on a dime and produce nothing, because the fronts smack into the Appalachians and get zotted.
Yup. It's why Pittsburgh is gray so often. These fronts do one last Gulf-Great Lakes moisture dump before heading over the ridges.
