No more rain expected today, but the ground is still going to be wet and sloppy. Bad news for all the steppers, good news for people that have trouble defending them. The temp will still be on the chilly side (60F/15C). For some that’s bikini weather, while others may need multiple layers. However you dress, come ready for a little muddy fun and fitness.

Correction: West side of the Washington monument for Monday
Monday 5:30pm east side of Washington monument
Perfect weather for some after work touch. Cool, but not cold, light breeze and no precipitation. Sun doesn’t set until 7:35, so we’ll be able to have a nice long session.
Saturday touch between WW2 memorial and Washington monument 9:30a
It’s going to start off a little chilly, but the sun will be out and it will get to a reasonable 50ish. There will still be crowds for the cherry blossoms, but no specific event to contend with. Looking forward to a fun run.
Also looking forward to getting back on the tidal basin. April 16 we’ll get our favorite Saturday spot back.
Touch is on Tonight @5:30 between WW2 Memorial and Monument
Spring is back (cool but not cold) and the cherry blossom crowds are thinning (a little)! Come and join us for pick up touch at the Mall between WW2 Memorial and the Monument!
Monday between WW2 memorial and Washington monument 5:30pm
A polar vortex pushed some uncharacteristic cold weather over us. It will be cold and breezy this evening (34F/1C, with wind chill 22F/-5C). So get back into the winter mindset for one day and come ready for fun.
Be prepared for lingering cherry blossom traffic and parking issues. Although I don’t see any road closures or special events today
Saturday WW2 side of Washington monument 9:30a
The rock n roll half marathon is tomorrow morning so there are some road closures. See the map here https://www.washingtonian.com/2022/03/22/map-dc-street-closures-for-saturdays-rock-n-roll-half-marathon-and-5k/ Give yourself a little extra time for the traffic and parking. The weather will be chilly but bearable, no rain.
Old Glory home game against NOLA at 3pm. Go Old Glory!
Off again
Sorry for the back and forth. The weather report looked so bad this morning, but as usual these things can change quickly this time of year. It’s hard to reverse course and in this case the momentum continued into not playing.
We’ll still be out on Saturday by the WW2 side of the Washington monument.
Maybe back on for Wednesday
The storm is moving through and breaking up faster than anticipated. It will still be a little chilly, some wind and you’ll likely get wet, but only a light rain. Still trying to confirm at least 12 before we are definitively on.
Plan on Bundy field 5:30pm. Less mud, less traffic, more parking. Low likelihood of fighting for space due to the weather. The definitive call on or off should be about 4:30
Rained out Wednesday
Probability of precipitation is very high, and it looks like it will be more than a drizzle. Along with the substantial rain there are going to be strong winds and chilly temps. Usually a little water won’t stop us, but the conditions don’t seem conducive to fun or good play. Plus it would be irresponsible to encourage people to come out and catch a cold.
There is still a chance that the rain will wear out as it gets to the city, but it’s not likely today. If the forecast improves by 2pm, there will be a new post. But as of now touch is off for Wednesday.
