Harrison, Taft, Obama?
The Nat’l Weather Service released its first detailed forecast for Inauguration Day this afternoon, and it includes — drumroll, please — the chance of snow. The weather service is predicting a mostly cloudy day with a 30% chance of snow. Daytime highs will top out in the lower 30s.
The weather service is typically vague more than four or five days in advance due to wide variations in long-term projections, and their operational forecast discussion this p.m. reflects that philosophy: “Below normal temperatures are expected for Tuesday as well. Another disturbance will bringing (sic) the chance for snow. The exact timing and track of this disturbance remains uncertain this far out.”
Still, even the prospect of snow is likely to send DC and fed. agencies scrambling. What to do with the estimated 2M to 4M people expected to make the pilgrimage to Washington for Pres.-elect Barack Obama’s swearing-in ceremony?
If significant snow does fall, it would not be the first time the inauguration was impacted by adverse weather conditions.
