Amid a cold and snowy January in D.C., the most frigid weather is still to come.

Temperatures will probably hold in the 20s Monday through Wednesday next week with bitter wind chills. Snow is possible Sunday.

This month’s coldest weather has yet to arrive, and there could be more snow, too.

Next week, a lobe of the polar vortex will plunge into the Lower 48 states, delivering a brutal blast of Arctic air. The chill will arrive in the District on Sunday, setting the stage for the coldest presidential inauguration since President Ronald Reagan’s in 1985. Some snow is possible Sunday as the cold air moves in, and there may be more opportunities for frozen precipitation next week.
