8. And just in time the sky provides him with his excuse for poor attendance

I would've preferred that he lacked even a fig leaf of an excuse.

12. Need the rain showers to hit this evening, not this afternoon. (nt)

[pangaia]

20. Better chance around 6:30 (his big party) than 9 pm-- firreworks

[dustyscamp]

13. It needs to rain all day

[UniteFightBack]

14. God has nothing to do with it. Mother Nature on the other hand.

[SergeStorms]

30. Thanks, Mom!

Mom always did know best.

[SeattleVet]

15. Need lightning and t-storms to keep his helicopter grounded in VA.

Be a real shame for him to have to miss his MAGAT rally due to weather.

On another happy note...if this charade parade turns into an overtly political campaign rally, then the campaign could be on the hook for all of the associated costs!

[maddiemom]

34. But they probably won't pay for it, anyway.

They've stiffed a lot of the places he's had rallies, especially under the guise of calling them "presidential speeches."

17. Like a sauna today with scattered storms and a flash flood risk

By David Streit and Dan Stillman July 4 at 2:00 PM

2 p.m. - Severe thunderstorm warning and flash flood warning issued east and northeast of Beltway

Northern and eastern areas are continuing to get hit hard with storms, even as things remain fairly quiet inside the Beltway. A severe thunderstorm warning and a flash flood warning have been issued to the east and northeast of the Beltway as described below. Meanwhile an intense storm is dumping heavy rain and producing frequent lightning from Olney to Columbia and toward the north ...

11:45 a.m. - Flash flood watch issued for greater D.C. area until 8 p.m.

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for D.C. and its suburbs until 8 p.m. This is due to the potential for slow-moving storms capable of torrential rain exceeding 2 inches in a short period of time. These storms will tend to pop-up and then dissipate in a scattered, random nature, making it difficult to predict when and where flooding may occur ...

[demmiblue]

[BadgerMom]

23. Excellent!

[First Speaker]

24. I of course don't really *want* this to happen...

...of course not... ...but wouldn't it be some sort of coincidence if Donnie, at a particularly "dramatic" moment in his parade...just happened to be hit by a lightning bolt? I wonder what his Evangelical buddies would say about that...?

[liberaltrucker]

25. They'd find a way to blame Obama

[klook]

31. Yes, since Obama didn't turn over NOAA to Accuweather!

SAD!!

[DBoon]

32. Alex Jones will concoct some story about a secret weather modification project

and figure out a way to put Obama into it

[Politicub]

27. May this be the start to washing away the shitstain on our country!

[Doitnow]

28. PLUS the earthquake in CA is capturing the attention of most all of the media

attention!! Isn't that grand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CaptYossarian]

29. I hope his heel spurs ache with every passing military vehicle.

[Salviati]

33. Of course this will be the excuse they use for poor attendance...

I'm sure all the minons tasked with getting rid of the tickets to the event are all breathing a sigh of relief...

[malaise]

35. I don't pray but I did ask Mother Nature

45. Consistent with our experience: nothing at all just across the Arlington line into Fairfax County.

[spooky3]

51. There appears to be a 2nd wave of storms heading your way (and then toward

DC).

[llmart]

46. I'm nowhere near DC...

but in SE Michigan it's as dark as 10:00 PM, raining cats and dogs, terrible wind and thunder and lightning. Hope DC gets the same right around the time the dingleberry is supposed to speak. Watch all the cowardly trumpsters run for cover!

[onenote]

42. Very scattered. I'm in the Bailey's Crossroads/Seven Corners area and we haven't seen a drop.

[Hulk]

37. That makes my Fourth of July something special....

I'm sure he'll use that as an excuse for the 30 or so people that showed up, but I really don't care. I'm sooooo glad it poured! I hope it rains all day long.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

40. 1) Rain in DC on the Fourth of July is not something that requires prayer.

2) Isn't any parade going on right now the one that's held every year in DC?

I've been drying a quilt and other things outside on the line all morning and afternoon, as it has been obvious that we were in for showers sooner or later. At 2:55 I heard the sound of what could only be V-22s. I grabbed my binoculars and saw three of them headed north up the Potomac River past the Naval Research Laboratory.

By 3:00, rain was falling in Loudoun County (think Trump's golf course) per WTOP, so I figured I'd best get to the Aldi. By 3:35 it was raining in Alexandria.

I think we're in for a big old gay rainbow, as the sun is going in and out while the rain is falling.

When thunder roars, stay indoors. I think the Aldi is closing at 6:00. I'll have a nice cool walk down and back.

My friendly, local Aldi is directly across the street from where the Scalise shooting took place two years ago. It was shut down, and its parking lot was commandeered by law enforcement for the remainder of that day.

I am not keeping track of Trump's schedule for the day. I have my hands full with my own chores.

Also, he's not my type.

[onenote]

41. Where are you in relation to downtown DC?

We're in northern virginia, around 8 miles from downtown and while we've heard occasional thunder, there hasn't been any storminess as of 4 pm.
The weather radar seems to show that there won't be much storm activity hitting downtown DC although the possibility of a "pop up" storm can't be fully ruled out.

[DesertRat]

47. I'm in sunny Arizona

I'm just reposting from Twitter.

The weather gods heard my fervent plea. 😊

49. Loved the pics of the pathetic wet folding chairs.

He promised them the greatest, didn't he??

[wryter2000]

52. Wish I could rec this a thousand times

[grantcart]

53. He can't go out in the rain

[GopherGal]

62. That construction project atop his head...

may not stand up to the elements.

But I imagine if it's just a light rain, they'll have some sort of roof/canopy set up to protect him while everyone else gets rained on. ('Cause we know he's not too good with umbrellas.)

54. DC Weather
