For those going today: Capital Weather Gang's NatCast has 'Temps will be near or just above 90 for much of the game. Hydrate. Slight chance a shower or storm pulses through late' with 20% chance of precip.
Once again, no Metro track-work today, but I'd budget a bit more time getting there and back due to the other festivities.
