It’s going to rain on Donald Trump’s parade.
About the time Trump raises his right hand Friday at noon to take the oath of office as the 45th U.S. president, rain will start to fall across Washington with temperatures around 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 Celsius), said Kevin Witt, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Sterling, Virginia. Conditions will improve Saturday when hundreds of thousands are expected at protests around the city.
