We've got a BIG rain event about to move into DC area (storm will spread up East Coast).

Rain arrives late Friday night, becomes HEAVY Saturday AM before exiting mid-afternoon. Flood watch in effect. Will be 3rd rainy Saturday this month.

The timing is poor for the first weekend of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, which kicked off Wednesday a few days after peak bloom was announced. Some Saturday events have been canceled because of the forecast, including Bloomaroo at the Wharf (rescheduled for March 30) and Art of Pink at National Landing (new date to be announced).
