Hint … tents and wedge heels.
Those clichéd April showers are putting a damper on the glut of festivities in Washington surrounding Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
“I’m not one of those young girls with high heels and especially if an event is outdoors you don’t want your high heels sinking into the wet ground,” said Francesca Craig, the former longtime social secretary for the French Embassy. The rain also isn’t putting a crimp on the annual POLITICO brunch held on Sunday at the Georgetown home of POLITICO founder and former owner Robert Allbritton and his wife Elena Allbritton.
The culprit is a series of storm systems moving from the Southeastern U.S., through the Mid-Atlantic and into New England. The wettest days will be Friday and Sunday, but showers could occur at any time throughout the weekend. Saturday — the day of the dinner, held at the Washington Hilton hotel — could be spared. Some rain is possible Saturday morning — there’s a 60 percent chance of rain, according to the National Weather Service office in Sterling, Va. — and rain is also possible Saturday night, mainly after midnight, when the dinner after-parties are typically in full swing.
