Likewise, how about the forecast for 9PM ET when the fireworks are due? I see from the website:
Fireworks may be cancelled due to inclement weather

The fireworks display may be delayed or cancelled if there is inclement weather, such as driving rain, high winds, lightning and/or low ceiling cloud cover in the area. Sign up for automated alerts by texting JULY4DC to 888777.

A Capitol Fourth is a free annual concert performed on the west lawn of the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., in celebration of Independence Day each July 4. Broadcast live on PBS, NPR and the American Forces Network and presented by WETA, the concert is viewed and heard by millions across the United States and the world, as well as attended by more than half a million people at the Capitol.

Trump wouldn't visit a memorial to our and our allies fallen soldiers because his hair might get rained on in Paris, but what are the chances he'd miss his ego extravaganza because of rain? He'd have a quadriplegic soldier hold an umbrella in his teeth just to cover his glorious mane before he'd miss it.
