Rainy, Stormy Weekend Weather to Potentially Put a Damper on DC’s Saturday Military Parade

The U.S. Army's 250th anniversary military parade will occur on Saturday, June 14, in Washington, D.C., coinciding with President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.
The parade follows a flood watch starting Friday evening and a National Weather Service forecast of a 60 percent chance of rain with possible thunderstorms after 2 p.m.
Events on Saturday include a morning wreath laying, fitness competition, a birthday festival with military demonstrations, the 6:30 p.m. parade featuring nearly 7,000 soldiers and 150 vehicles, a concert, and fireworks.
Forecasters warned of potential storm impacts on flyovers, parachute displays, and fireworks, with rainfall possibly exceeding an inch and flash flooding risk rated as marginal for the region.
Despite the threat of showers and storms, organizers have made no changes, expecting hundreds of thousands of attendees, and President Trump confirmed he will attend and speak at the parade.
