NatCast: Developling Rain

Nationals vs. Marlins
Today, 1:35 p.m., Nationals Park

First Pitch	9th Inning	Weather	Chance of Rain
64F	62F	Breezy, Rainy	60%

Rain is likely to begin by the mid to late innings. I'd say there's a 60% chance of getting the game in before any suspension of play. Factoring in breezy winds from the southeast (15mph, with higher gusts), temps only in the 60s and the rain, it won't be the nicest of days to take in a game.

Good timing for a day game considering the cool evenings we're having. It'll feel nice in the sun to start the game, but a bit of a chill by the end as the sun moves lower in the sky.

Tonight, 7:10 p.m., Nationals Park

First Pitch	9th Inning	Weather	Chance of Rain
74F	69F	Showery	65%

A passing cold front means a good chance of showers and thunderstorms. Any rain may take about an hour to pass some time between 4 and 9 p.m. I'm not thinking rain-out, but a delay is certainly possible (about a 50% chance).
