The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of the District of Columbia and surrounding areas in Maryland and Virginia on Saturday afternoon ahead of President Donald Trump’s highly anticipated speech to commemorate the United States’s 250th Independence Day.
Just a few hours after the announcement, Freedom 250 spokesperson Danielle Alvarez told all attendees to “evacuate event grounds and seek temporary shelter in a nearby building,” saying organizers will “share updates on programming and doors reopening.”
Amid a record-setting heat wave that began earlier in the week on the East Coast, the warning was issued at 2:15 p.m.
Eastern Time with a severity of “significant threat to life or property.”
The warning is currently in effect until 10:00 p.m.
“In addition to the wind threat, thunderstorms will also be capable of producing heavy rainfall, with an increasing threat of repeating storms and flooding as the front settles southward from the Northeast into the Mid-Atlantic later this weekend into early next week,” the NWS announcement also said.
