Very high probability of rain. However what started as a forecast of 90% chance of moderate rain has come down to 75% chance of light to moderate rain. The storm is moving fast, so there is always a chance it could blow itself out or past by 9:30 tomorrow.

Yes we usually don’t let a little rain stop us from playing. If the forecast holds it will be more than a little. Not quite enough to send you running for cover, but enough to make you soaked miserable coming down consistently for 3 hours. Either way we’ll be kicked off the tidal basin even if we do play. And there is a perfectly non-rainy day on Sunday…..

Watch this space for a morning update.

We’ll play on capital side of the Washington monument, by 14th street. It’s going to be hot and humid. Chance of sporadic thunderstorm if you’re worried about that kind of thing, but if it materializes it won’t be enough precipitation to slow us down.

For the Monday holiday we’ll play at 10am on the Tidal Basin pitch. Come get a run in before your bbqs and fireworks. Weather will be sunny and hot.

It’s going to be hot and humid so bring plenty of water. Marginal chance of thunderstorm, but only once we’re done playing.

Capital side of the mall, between 14th and the smithsonian metro stop. It’s going to be hot out so make sure you bring hydration.

We’ll take our chances with the rangers and potential for barefooting it to play on the nicer grass today. On the museums side of the Washington monument, roughly between 14th and the Smithsonian metro stop.

Weather will be warm and a little muggy this afternoon

It’s going to be a warm summer day so bring plenty of fluids. The festivals, road closures and probable protests will all be down by the capital, but give yourself a little extra time for possible increased crowds and traffic.

We’ve had some great runs the last few weeks. It’s so good to see some veterans passing through or coming out after long absence, as well as all the new people just looking to have some competitive fun. Below is where we’ll be for anyone unfamiliar with the tidal basin location.

The Folklife Festival setup is still occupying most of the mall, so we’ll take the area close to 14th st. It’s still been hit and miss on when/if park rangers show up to enforce no cleats. Be prepared for turf shoes or barefoot possibility.

It’s going to be pretty hot out with a chance for a brief thunderstorm. An umbrella is recommended just in case.

Yes, Juneteenth is now a federal holiday, but the majority of touch players still don’t have it off. Therefore we’ll still play at the regular new time of 5:45. For the most part it seems like the 5:45 time is working out well. Remember the goal is to start running at 5:45, so still aim to arrive by 5:30.

Weather should be pleasant again tomorrow, albeit a bit breezy.

Temps will cool down overnight and conditions should be quite pleasant for a run around tomorrow. However it could be a bit windy in case anyone has allergies. There is a festival on the Mall in the afternoon, so be aware of potential added crowds and traffic.

Important note: Our permit tomorrow is only until 10:30. Someone with very fast fingers was able to snag the permits from 10:45-3:30. With a little luck it will be a friendly group that will share the field with us until at least 11:30. Fair warning that we may have to quit early or relocate at 10:30. Arrive early to get your run in.
