President Donald Trump’s upcoming parade of $ 45 million is most likely to be raining, according to current weather forecasts.
As of Wednesday, the National Meteorological Service predicts that it is 60 percent likely to rain on Saturday after 2 pm, with the likelihood of thunderstorms in the evening, potentially transferring the arranged route to the Trump parade.
His website is currently reading for a Saturday night: “Shows probably before 20:00, then showers probably possibly a thunderstorm between 8:00 pm and 2 am, then a chance for showers after 2 o’clock in the morning. Mostly cloudy, with a low room.

Rain can significantly affect Trump’s large, beautiful military parade, which aims to mark the founding of the US Army 250 years ago, as well as his 79th birthday.
The army said the parade is expected to start at 6:30 pm and end around 7:30 pm, half an hour before the possible thunderstorms.
Depending on the weight of the time, certain events, such as the Army of Golden Knights Parachutes and Fireworks at the end of the night, can be canceled.
The Parachute Golden Knights team is currently currently ready to parachute in the ellipse where a concert after parade will be held and will present Trump with a US flag.

Parachute’s elite team was already forced to cancel one of its jumps on a community holiday for the 250th birthday of the Army in the Arsenal Army in Alabama four days ago due to rain.
Special agent Matt McCoule, who runs the Washington Field Service office at the Secret Service, advised a press conference on Monday that “due to the big crowds, noise and the forecast for the time that for their safety,” people leave their pets and emotional support at home, although service animals are still allowed.

He also said that “we are preparing for enormous turnout,” according to the secret service, he expects hundreds of thousands of people to attend Saturday. More than 18 miles of fences are already being placed throughout Washington in preparation for the event.
However, adverse weather conditions can affect public transport and lead to a lower turnout than expected.
The parade will also include about 9,000 troops who march on the Avenue Constitution in Washington, more than 100 military vehicles and 50 aircraft, such as Black Hawk helicopters and World War II bombers.
“It will be an incredible day. We will have tanks, we will have planes, we will have all sorts of things. I think it will be great,” Trump told reporters in the oval office on Tuesday.
The estimated price of the President’s birthday parade excludes estimated costs to repair the damage caused by military tanks after the event, which US military officials have said they can go up to $ 16 million.
DC Muriel Browser Mayor said in April that “military tanks on our streets will not be good”, adding that if the president decides to use military tanks, they “must be accompanied by many millions of dollars to repair the roads.”
About 130 military tanks are expected to participate in the Saturday procession.

Trump tried to throw a military parade during his first term as president after seeing Bastille’s parade in France in 2017, which celebrates the fall of Bastila prison on July 14.
He even told French President Emmanuel Macron that the United States “will have to try to surpass” France’s celebrations.
Although his plans fell due to the estimated price of the $ 92 million parade, the Saturday parade had to be its redemption.
But with the current forecast, all Trump can do is ask, as Barbara Streisand once and: “Don’t wear a cloud to rain on my parade.”
