Bad weather forecasts mean President-elect Donald Trump will take the oath of office from inside the Capitol Rotunda and people visiting Washington from around the country won’t be able to see it in person.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony is moving indoors to the Capitol rotunda because of a frigid weather forecast in the nation's capital Monday, the president-elect announced on social media Friday.

President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration will be moved indoors, he announced Friday, due to dangerously cold temperatures projected in the nation’s capital.

The Inauguration Day forecast calls for bitter cold and high winds. It is expected to be D.C.’s coldest inauguration in 40 years.

President-elect Donald Trump announced Friday that he will move the inauguration ceremony indoors as Washington, DC prepares for record low temperatures. The ceremony will now take place inside the Capitol rotunda.

The potential change, a rare break with tradition, would deny Mr. Trump the pomp and large audience he hoped for at his second swearing-in.

The pageantry and parties surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration kick off this weekend with fireworks and a rally before Monday’s Inauguration Day ceremony, parade and balls.

President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration next week is expected to be moved indoors because of cold weather, according to multiple reports Friday.

The Rotunda is prepared as the inclement weather alternative for each inauguration in the event of inclement weather. The swearing-in was last moved indoors in 1985, when President Ronald Reagan began his second term. Monday’s forecast calls for the lowest inauguration day temperatures since that day.
