Of course since this is Washington, remember that the “rain” part in rain delay is sometimes optional.
The tarp is on the field. Based on past experiences here at Nats Park, I assume this means the game will start early pic.twitter.com/xKojUBUsjW

I live 150 miles from Nationals Park. The line of storms affecting #Braves vs. Nationals stretches to my house and it’s pouring here. Here’s hoping they get it in! pic.twitter.com/FxV1RYFXcl

The good news: It seems like we avoided the worst of the storm here. The bad news: It's still going to be raining lightly for a while. The big question: Would they start the game before it stops altogether?
