(TheRedAlertNews.com) – President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration is set to be a historic event, not just for the nation but for the record books.
As Trump prepares to take the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, Mother Nature seems determined to test the resolve of American patriots with bone-chilling temperatures that could rival the coldest inauguration in recent memory.
Forecasts predict that Trump’s swearing-in ceremony on January 20th will likely be the coldest since Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration in 1985.
The expected temperature is around 21 degrees Fahrenheit, but it could feel like a frigid 11 degrees at noon due to wind chill.
This stark contrast to the mild 42 degrees during Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of Washington’s weather.
Despite the cold forecast, over 200,000 attendees are expected to brave the elements to witness this glorious occasion.
The Weather Channel predicts even harsher conditions, with highs of only 26 degrees, lows in the single digits, and winds up to 20 mph.
These extreme conditions are due to a polar vortex sweeping across the nation, bringing arctic air that will plunge temperatures well below January norms.
National Weather Service meteorologist Brian LaSorsa warns of the potential dangers:
“We’re going to have dangerously cold temperatures with low wind chills. We’re looking at winds about 15 to 20 miles per hour with gusts 25 to 30 miles per hour. When you combine that with the very cold air temperatures, that’s what’s going to cause the dangerously low wind chill values.”
The cold snap has not deterred the Trump administration’s plans. After the swearing-in, Trump is expected to deliver his inaugural address and sign executive orders, with reports suggesting he may sign about 100 orders.
This ambitious agenda signals Trump’s readiness to hit the ground running, regardless of the frosty reception from Mother Nature.
Regarding Inauguration Day security, Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said, “We’re prepared…No city handles large scale events better than D.C.”
Security measures have been heightened for the 250,000 ticketed guests, with thousands more expected to watch from a distance.
The star-studded lineup of performers including Carrie Underwood, Lee Greenwood, the Village People, Kid Rock and Billy Ray Cyrus.
It also showcases the broad appeal of Trump’s presidency and his ability to bring together diverse talents to celebrate American greatness.
While former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies, former first lady Michelle Obama will not be present.
