Inauguration Weather Forecast: Cold, Flaky?

INAUGURATIONCASTTuesday, January 20, 2009
| MORNING LOW | SWEARING IN* | WEATHER | CHANCE OF PRECIP |
| 21-26F | 28-33F | Mostly cloudy | 25% |
The wild card is the possibility of a fast-moving disturbance rippling through the region and producing considerable cloudiness along with some light snow or flurries. As this disturbance hasn't even formed yet, it's too early to predict its timing and how much snow, if any, it will produce. Stay tuned.
Confidence: Low-Medium
*Swearing in is scheduled for noon.

What about wind? Read earlier that preliminary forecasts called for gusts in the 20-30 mph range...

Yes, what about the wind on Tuesday? This morning was plenty cold, but manageable, until the wind whipped up.

re: the wind
At the moment, the wind doesn't look to be a big deal, but may be around 10-15 mph...which would add to the chill somewhat.

Yes--I'd say rain is pretty much out of the question.

I'll be the one to ask a stupid question.
So is rain out of the question? I'll take snow over rain.
