We’ll play on the Tidal Basin pitch at 9:30am. No rain, moderate temps, even the humidity won’t be too high. You can’t ask for a better day to run around.

We’ll play on the Mall on Wednesday at 5:30pm, by the Smithsonian Metro stop. There is about 50% chance that we’ll get some light rain during play, but not enough to deter anyone that isn’t a witch. So I’ll see all the non-witches out there for some fun mid-week rugby.

Since most people have the day off we’ll continue the tradition of having Monday touch in the morning. Tidal basin at 10am. Weather should be clear and not too hot

It looks like all the storm that was supposed to get us went right up to New York and destroyed them. I fell terrible for all those people. But I’m grateful that the storm sucked all the moisture out of the area and and is giving us a few nice low humidity days.

We’ll play on the Tidal Basin Saturday at 9:30.

Monday preview….we’ll do a morning game at 10 since most people have the day off

It’s going to be a beautiful afternoon for touch this evening. Sunny, mid 70s, mild humidity, fresh grass. 5:30p Mall by Smithsonian metro stop. Sorry if it threw off everyone’s schedule, but tonight will be much more fun than it would have been yesterday.

It looks like moderate to heavy rain off and on for the rest of the day. Rather than try to force today in under potentially awful conditions, tomorrow will be beautiful and perfect for some rugby on the mall.

Today is officially off, and tomorrow is on 5:30pm at the Mall by smithsonian metro

It looks like some heavy rain around the 4-5 o’clock hour, but current forecast has some light to moderate rain for a good two or three hour window after that. This might be a late afternoon call.

Also toying with the idea of cancelling today and making it up tomorrow, even though I know this throws everyone’s schedules off.

Currently monitoring the storm. We’re in the forecasted path to get about 4 inches of rain this afternoon and evening. It’s expected to be strong winds and heavy rain for the 6-7 hour, which is prime playing time. I don’t mind a little rain, but from the forecasts it looks a little too miserable. Probably going to cancel tonight.

However, if the storm tracks north and continues blowing itself out there is a chance we could play. The Mall has good drainage and even with the recent rain the soil is firm and stable, so we could play there.

I’ll watch the storm and post an update around noon or 1 to make a decision.

We’ll play today on the Mall at 5:30pm, by Smithsonian metro station. There is about a 60% likelihood of light rain while we play. It should still be warm and pleasant enough to have some fun. The forecasts have been changing fast, so the rain might not materialize. But be prepared to be a little wet.

Get the rugby in while we can now because the Wednesday forecast is almost guaranteed to be heavy rain from the remnants of Hurricane Ida. I’ll keep an eye on it, and if it looks like it will be miserable to play in, I’ll call it off.

there’s a march on the mall and the turf isn’t too bad on the tidal basin
