A brutal blast of cold air, dubbed the Siberian Express, is set to sweep across the United States starting Thursday night in the Rockies, affecting up to 280 million Americans with temperatures colder than Anchorage, Alaska. The frigid air will make President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration in Washington on Monday the coldest since Ronald Reagan's second swearing-in, with temperatures around 22 degrees and wind chills in the single digits. The Arctic outbreak, caused by a disruption in the polar vortex, will reach its peak intensity Tuesday morning. Watch a report here. About 80 million people are likely to experience subzero temperatures during this cold snap, which experts say could last through the end of January, with another possible polar vortex event returning in early February. | Netanyahu Delays Gaza Truce Vote Amid Crisis Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed the Israeli Cabinet vote on a Gaza ceasefire deal until today, citing a "last-minute crisis" with Hamas over unspecified parts of the agreement. The delay comes as Netanyahu's coalition partners mount fierce resistance, with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir threatening to withdraw his party from the government if the deal is approved. The proposed agreement would pause the 15-month war and see 33 of about 100 remaining hostages released over six weeks in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, though air strikes continued overnight. | Mr. Baseball Passes Away at 90 Bob Uecker, the beloved Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster known as "Mr. Baseball" who turned a mediocre playing career into a Hall of Fame broadcasting tenure spanning 54 seasons, has died at 90. His family said he had battled small-cell lung cancer since early 2023. View his life in photos here. Beyond the broadcast booth, Uecker gained national fame through his self-deprecating humor on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Miller Lite commercials, and roles in the Major League films and TV series Mr. Belvedere. In his final radio broadcast on Oct. 3, 2024, Bob Uecker called the Milwaukee Brewers' Wild Card Game 3 loss to the New York Mets when a 2-0 ninth-inning lead slipped away in what would be the legendary announcer's last time behind the microphone.
