The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for Washington D.C. and its surrounding areas ahead of President Donald Trump’s upcoming $45 million birthday parade, scheduled for Saturday. The National Weather Service had previously estimated that there is a 60 percent chance of rain on Saturday after 2 p.m., with a possibility of thunderstorms in the evening. The flash flood warning, which also applies to Arlington and Alexandria, Virginia, is in place until 12 a.m. Saturday. The NWS advises that those in the area move to higher ground and avoid walking or driving through floodwaters. While Saturday’s parade is designed to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary, Saturday also happens to be Trump’s 79th birthday. The parade is planned to start at 6:30 p.m. and last for an hour. It will feature 9,000 troops, as well as more than 100 military vehicles, including 130 tanks, plus 50 aircraft.
