As I write this from the (thankfully under cover) RFK Stadium press box, a veritable soaking is coming down over the field — and it’s been like this for some time, as anyone with access to a window or who has been outside can attest to. The District is currently under a flash flood watch (as we noted this morning), and there is also a severe thunderstorm watch for a sizable area south and east of Washington. If you’re getting off to a late start to tonight’s sporting action or driving for any reason what so ever, be sure to take things very slowly.
