Game Day Weather: Rain Expected To Impact Wednesday's Yankees vs. Nationals Game

Well, we haven't been checking in much this week (the real world has unfortunately beckoned), and here we are with some bad news. It looks like the rain that was expected to hold off until overnight is RAPIDLY approaching the area, and will affect tonight's game. Here is Steve from NYNJPAWeather.com with the latest:
The rain is moving faster than expected. Expect periods of rain to impact game conditions by at least the third inning. Winds will me from the SE around 10 to 20 mph. Temperatures will fall through the mid 60's.
Obviously, this is Washington's only trip into town, so they will likely do all they can to make sure the game is played. The problem here is that the rain is only going to get worse as the evening progresses. If the game gets postponed or suspended, look for the makeup game to be played at the end of the regular season, depending on if the outcome is meaningful to the standings.

If we receive any new updates from Steve, we will be sure to post them here. We'll be at the game in the Audi Yankees Club, while Nick will be in the Legends seats, getting soaking wet. Score one for the Audi Club!

What about thursday's game?

We'll have an update about that game tomorrow morning, but the fact that
this rain has moved in faster than previously forecast might be good news
for Thursday's afternoon game. Please check back here for the latest!
According to the radar you posted, the rain should hold off until 9:00 PM? They should be able to get 5 done by then.

Alright, thanks. That what I was thinking, that if the rain came in tonight, by like 9 pm, tomorrow's rain might be a lot lighter than expected.
