Whether it's wearing shorts in the heat or bringing an umbrella for the rain, it's important to plan for the weather whenever you plan to go outside. It's important, that is, if you want to have an enjoyable experience.
The rain was back at Nationals Park Saturday after precipitation postponed Friday's game between the Cubs and the Nationals.
