OC Air Show offers 'courtesy accommodations' for ticket holders as Saturday show cut short
After the OC Air Show slate on June 14 was cut short by perilous weather conditions for flying in Ocean City, organizers issued a statement about the situation and what comes next in the early evening.
Here's what the OC Air Show's Chris Dirato said in the evening statement:
"Unfortunately, today's weather forced the early conclusion of Saturday's event. While everyone worked hard to get as much of the show in as possible, the cloud ceilings and visibility dropped below FAA minimum safety requirements, preventing several scheduled performers from flying, including the Blue Angels. Safety always remains the top priority and today's conditions left no margin to continue."
Dirato went on to explain that some help is being offered to people who paid for viewing area tickets for the June 14 show and want to say for June 15's show.
"Per the event's published policy, all tickets are non-refundable in the event of weather impacts. However, in appreciation of our guests and recognizing today's unique circumstances, we are offering special courtesy accommodations for impacted Saturday ticket holders to attend Sunday's show.

Father's Day looks mostly dry, warmer in Twin Cities, but storms ahead
The Father's Day forecast looks mostly dry and warmer in the Twin Cities, though some storms could develop later on south of the metro. With a few breaks in the clouds, temperatures will warm into the mid to upper 70s. More storms are expected to develop Monday, especially in the afternoon and evening. With ample instability in place, those could turn severe, so WCCO has issued a possible NEXT Weather Alert. There is still uncertainty with specific timing and placement, but hail, wind and even tornadoes are all possible. Highs will continue to trend up into the 80s for most of the week, with a few more chances for storms. The end of the week looks drier as the pattern tries to break for some sunshine.

Rain Forces Trump to Rush 79th Birthday Parade Past Empty Bleachers
President Donald Trump's birthday tank parade, which is costing taxpayers an estimated $45 million, was a relatively lackluster affairโespecially considering the hefty price tag. The parade was forced to start early, with events kicking off approximately 30 minutes earlier than planned, in an attempt to beat the storms forecast for Saturday evening. While only light rain fell on the parade, the drizzly forecast could have been one reason why so many people stayed home, resulting in a muted crowd for Trump's big, beautiful birthday extravaganza. While television cameras at the event were largely trained on the soldiers, tanks, aircraft, and other military vehicles as they made their way down Constitution Avenue, footage posted to social media shows empty bleachers, sparse crowds, and near-silence owing to the lack of speakers along the parade route. A New York Times reporter in attendance said of the crowds, 'The energy level at the military parade here is a bit desultory. The crowds are calm and light, a bit sapped after waiting in the oppressive D.C. humidity for hours to make it to this point.' The energy onstage didn't appear to be much better, with commenters on social media highlighting footage of Secretary of State Marco Rubio yawning and seemingly having a difficult time 'hiding his boredom.' Others, including an Irish newspaper, noted that Melania Trump, in attendance alongside her husband, looked like she was falling asleep at several points, as cameras caught her with her eyes closed and appearing to doze off. It wasn't just Trump's supporters who failed to show up in mass numbers for his birthday parade; several of his own family members were not in attendance, including daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner. Those who were in attendance included Vice President JD Vance, his wife and their two children, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, UFC CEO Dana White, and Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, as well as several senior military officials. UFC was one of the sponsors of the parade, alongside Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, Oracle, a software company, and Lockheed Martin. We learned this as their names were shouted out by the parade emcee as the parade progressed. The parade came late in the day, following more than 2,000 "No Kings' protests around the country planned to coincide with Trump's birthday. Hundreds of thousands of people across the U.S. participated in these protests. While attendee numbers are hard to estimate, the New York City Police Department estimated a crowd of roughly 50,000, while an estimated 80,000 protestors marched in Philadelphia. Protestors were also present at the parade; The New York Times reported that a group had gathered in a spot near the parade zone, with people bearing signs that read, 'Stop fascists now!' and 'Army, do your job - 86 47.' Trump's parade, planned to coincide with his birthday but ostensibly designed to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States Army, drew significant criticism in the weeks leading up to the event as a result of the massive cost to taxpayers and concerns from D.C. officials over the potential damage the tanks might do to city streets.
