Hot & Humid Conditions for June 2nd.

Summertime weather to be arond for the first June games. The only "fly in the ointment" will be the chance fo thunderstorms on Friday. You know the drill. If it rains hard on Friday, then Saturday will require some early field work.

Saturday will be Hot & Humid with a chance for afternoon storms with highs around 90. With 2 games to play, hydration and active cooling should be top priorities. Bring extra water for drinking and some cold water just to put on your head for cooling.

Side note: I won't be playing this Saturday. We'll be stressed anyway on the WUSA team because of our involvement with Race for the Cure, but I had my eyebrow split open last night. Nothing that 14 stitches can't take care of. If you'd like to read about my adventures that lead me to the ER, that story is available on wusa9.com.

Improving Outlook

Yesterday, I wrote about the threat of storms for the weekend. Now, it looks like there will still be a slim chance for a whoer or thunderstorm on Friday, with a better chance for storms holding off until Sunday and Monday.

So, I'm expecting a mainly sunny and dry Saturday with highs in the upper 80s. A little above average for this time of year, so plenty of water and sunscreen should also be part of your game gear.

Possible Storms by the Weekend!

Today is Memorial Day. A day to remember those who have served our country and sacrificed so much. Please don't take it for granted.

Now to weather.....we've had hot and dry weather for weeks now and there are signs that we will see some more regular rainfall during June. The pattern that we've seen will start to break down a little toward the end of the week.

While we will have a slight chance for a shower on Friday, the threat goes up on Saturday and especially Sunday.

Right now, we're probably going to be OK, but I want you to know that the threat exists.

Happy Memorial Day

Have a great holiday and I'll be back by Monday or Tuesday.

Some Heat On The Way

No games this weekend, but it looks like we could be into the Upper 80s by Sunday after a cool start to the week. Also, I think we stay dry through Sunday as well...not good since we really need some rain.

Issues.....

I think we'll play. It won't be a pretty day, but it should be playable. We have some showers around on Friday, but the overall amounts expected are on the light side. .10" to .25" in the heaviest areas. Even Saturday could see a passing shower with highs only in the lower 60s and a brisk northwesterly wind.

Game time temps in the 50s with a breezy and mostly cloudy skies and possible a sprinkle or two......as I said earlier, it won't be pretty, but I think it will be playable.

Big Storms On Wednesday....

We had some big thunderstorms today. We needed the rain. The next two days look cool and unsettled. By Friday, temps will struggle to get into the 60s and we'll likely see a few showers.

The big questions are whether or not the showers will be gone by Saturday morning and how much activity will we see on Friday? Saturday afternoon looks fine with highs in the low 70s.

Stay tuned....

May 19th is looking Good!

While we will have some thunderstorms around on Wednesday, and the threat of a shower or two on Thursday and Friday, the early line on Saturday is sunny and nice with temperatures in the mid 70s.

Should be OK tomorrow.....

We're in decent shape as we head toward the May 12th schedule. Some shower and thunderstorm activity is likely this afternoon and evening, but the most likely plade for that is south and east of DC.

If we played in Charles county or Prince William, that could be problematic, but I think that the activity across Montgomery county today will be very limited, and probably non-existent.

On Saturday, we'll have a chance for more showers and thunderstorms, but that will likely hold off until the mid to late afternoon. So, after all this watching of Doppler 9000, it looks like we'll squeak out another round of games.

If anything changes, I'll post again before tomorrow, otherwsie, I'll see you on the field!

Some Good News

I am slightly more optimistic about Saturday. A cold front now looks like it will come through the region overnight Friday and before Saturday morning. That would leave Saturday dry and pleasant with highs in the 70s.

One problem, will we get too much rain on Friday or Friday night? Like I've said earlier this week, it's a wait and see game, but at least we've trended toward the right direction....

Some Showers Wednesday -Saturday

I hate weeks like this. There is no definite answer as to whether or not we'll play. I feel confident that we'll have some showers from time to time Wednesday thorough Saturday, but like life, timing is everything. And not just timing, but location, location , location. It's really a game of wait and see.

It's only Tuesday, I hope I can give a more definitive answer later in the week.

A Dry Start to the week. Will it last?

Sunny and cool weather to kick off the week, but it just won't last. We'll see temps warming into the 80 degree range by Thursday and Friday and the next front arrives late Friday into Saturday. It's too early to tell how widespread the showers will be or when, but it's defintiely worth watching.

Still OK, but not that pretty

It looks like our dry weekend forecast is going out the window, but that should not have any real impact on Saturday's make-up games.

Any chance for showers will likely hold off until the middle to latter part of the afternoon and the best chances stay south of DC.

All is quiet

We're in a nice quiet stretch of weather for the next several days and that should carry through the weekend. A few showers south today and maybe a shower Saturday night, but overall, quiet.

I still think that Saturday, May 5th, features sunshine and pleasant temps around 70 for a high.

Nice Weather expected for May 5th

After a few showers tonight into Wednesday, the rest of the week will be quiet. This Saturday, for the make-up games, I expect sunshine with highs around 70. Nothing wrong with that...

Unless things change, I probably won't post until next week.

Hasta La Vista!
