Weather: Welp, it looks like it will literally be raining on Donald Trump’s parade, but that won’t put a damper on this weekend’s festivities. If you’re attending outside events today, bring your rain boots (or an ark), but do be aware that umbrellas and other items are prohibited at Inauguration and some related festivities. The chance for rain is ultra high today and temperatures will be flirting with the 50s. Whether you’re marching, brunching or both, on Saturday expect cloudy but dry skies and highs in the mid 50s. Sunday will bring us right back to where we started with more rain and temps in the low 50s. Do your best to stay dry, DC!

Awesome events you can attend this weekend: If you’re joining the Women’s March on Washington tomorrow, march to these women owned bars right after; WaPo has essential Inauguration details for your weekend planning; Get a selfie with our new POTUS (or a wax figure that looks pretty legit); CRUCIAL info for anyone seeking late-night nightcaps this weekend; A full day’s play at the Kennedy Center is a perfect escape from Inauguration crowds; Or for an evening of Chinese performance art and dance with Shen Yun, the Kennedy Center also has you covered; Also unrelated to the Inauguration, this Iranian film festival kicks off on Sunday

#WATCH

We first met Patrick Gavin a year ago while he was in the middle of a 500 day mission to score an interview with President Obama. 500 days later, he’s still searching for that interview. Sad.
