It won’t be a blizzard that impacts an NFL playoff game this weekend, like the one that forced the Buffalo Bills to postpone their home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on wild-card weekend. Instead, it’s soaking rain that could make for a soggy Sunday across the Baltimore-Washington region as the Baltimore Ravens host the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game at M&T Bank Stadium.
Washington, D.C
Soggy forecast for Ravens-Chiefs as rainstorm set to soak Baltimore, D.C.
It’s too early to say if the rain will be heavy enough to significantly affect passing and kicking or if it will be lighter showers that are more just a nuisance to fans. Isolated areas of flooding are possible across the region Saturday night into Sunday, but it doesn’t appear the rain will be heavy enough for widespread flooding concerns despite how wet it’s been this month and this winter to date.
Temperatures will be much more comfortable than during the Ravens’ last game on Saturday against the Houston Texans in Baltimore, when the temperature around kickoff was 24 degrees with a wind chill of 4. The previous weekend, the Chiefs hosted the coldest game ever at Arrowhead Stadium and the fourth-coldest game in NFL history against the Miami Dolphins, with a kickoff temperature of minus-4 degrees and wind chill of minus-27.
The rain could end as a little snow Sunday night before the precipitation departs.
The weekend starts with a partly to mostly cloudy and mostly dry Saturday, at least through much of the day. Rain should move into the Baltimore-Washington region from the west and south early Saturday evening, with periods of rain likely through the night and into much of Sunday.
It’s not impossible that the rain could taper to just lighter showers by Sunday afternoon, or that there could be a well-timed break in the rain during the game, which is scheduled for 3 p.m. Either way, it’s a damp, cooler and increasingly breezy day with temperatures mainly in the 40s. Winds should be from the north, sustained around 10 to 15 mph, with some gusts near 20 mph.
Total rainfall amounts of about 0.5 to 1 inch shouldn’t cause widespread flooding, but isolated areas of flooding are possible given how saturated the ground is.
Could the rain end as snow Sunday evening?
Models show that lingering rain showers could turn to wet snow showers Sunday evening and overnight, especially north of D.C., including in and around Baltimore. Some models even forecast a half-inch or so of accumulation.
It’s not certain that the atmosphere will cool down enough to change the rain to snow before the precipitation ends, and even if it does, model accumulation forecasts are probably overdone given that temperatures probably won’t fall lower than the mid-30s.
Still, we can’t rule out a burst of heavier snow that puts down a light accumulation, especially on grassy areas north and west of D.C. and Baltimore, and perhaps even a slushy coating on sidewalks and side roads if temperatures drop to about 32 to 34 degrees.
One of the wettest Januarys and winters so far
The 4.26 inches of precipitation in Washington from Jan. 1 through Wednesday is about double the normal amount for the period, following D.C.’s fourth-wettest December on record with 6.43 inches. With 10.69 inches since Dec. 1, this is the city’s second-wettest winter to date, only an inch behind the 11.69 inches that had fallen during the same period in the winter of 1936-1937.
Washington has already seen five calendar days with an inch or more of rain since Dec. 1, the most of any winter to date. The most for an entire winter was six, which occurred in both 1901-1902 and 1884-1885.
This is also the second-wettest winter to date in Baltimore, where the 12.36 inches through Wednesday is just behind the 12.59 inches that had fallen to date in 1936-1937.

The memorial service will be held at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial at 1 p.m.
WASHINGTON D.C. – A brave K-9 hero from the region will be honored at the Annual National Police K9 Memorial Service on Monday afternoon.
K-9 Knox died in the line of duty last year after he was accidentally hit by a police vehicle while pursuing a suspect involved in a stolen vehicle incident. He was a 3-year-old German shepherd and had served as a narcotics detection and patrol apprehension K-9 for the Roanoke Police Department since May 2023.
The memorial service will include a wreath-laying ceremony and will be held at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., at 1 p.m. The event will open with a musical performance by Frank Ray, and the guest speaker will be Deputy Jared Hahn of the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit.
The San Antonio Police Department Blue Line Choir will sing the national anthem, and the Emerald Society Pipes & Drums band will also perform.

BXP Headquarters Shift Highlights Tenant Strategy And Washington DC Portfolio Choices
- BXP (NYSE:BXP) is relocating its regional headquarters to make room for major tenant the Washington Commanders in Foggy Bottom.
- The company is moving into a newly renovated downtown Washington, DC office building as part of this shift.
- The relocation aligns with recent leasing activity and capital deployment in the DC market.
For investors watching NYSE:BXP, this move ties directly to how the company is using its portfolio to support active leasing and tenant relationships. The stock last closed at $59.46, with a 15.0% return over the past 30 days and a 1.7% return over the past week, while the return over the past 5 years is a 27.4% decline. These mixed signals highlight why operational updates like this relocation can matter alongside price performance.
The decision to prioritize space for an NFL franchise tenant and occupy a freshly renovated downtown asset provides additional context on how BXP is positioning its DC footprint. As more details emerge on leasing terms, occupancy, and future capital plans around these properties, investors can use this event as another data point when assessing how the company is managing growth and risk in a key office market.

3 things going right for BXP that this headline doesn’t cover.
This headquarters move sits at the intersection of BXP’s tenant strategy and its capital deployment in Washington, DC. By giving the Washington Commanders a larger footprint in Foggy Bottom and shifting its own team into a recently refurbished, US$25 million downtown building, BXP is effectively using its portfolio as a tool to secure and retain high profile tenants. That matters for a company whose first quarter 2026 revenue of US$872.15 million and net income of US$101.58 million depend heavily on occupancy and long term leases. It also aligns with management’s comments about portfolio performance contributing to an increased full year 2026 EPS guidance range of US$2.15 to US$2.29 per diluted share, where gains on sales and operating trends both play a role.
How This Fits Into The BXP Narrative
- The relocation supports the narrative catalyst around a flight to quality, as BXP is concentrating activity in well located, premier DC assets that can appeal to blue chip tenants such as the Commanders.
- At the same time, shifting internal space and accommodating a large tenant concentrates exposure in a single market and property cluster, which could challenge assumptions about diversification and leasing flexibility if demand softens.
- This news adds detail on how BXP is using headquarters space as part of broader leasing negotiations, a nuance that may not be fully reflected in narrative discussions focused on development projects and capital recycling.
Knowing what a company is worth starts with understanding its story.
Check out one of the top narratives in the Simply Wall St Community for BXP to help decide what it’s worth to you.
The Risks and Rewards Investors Should Consider
- ⚠️ Higher tenant concentration in a single NFL franchise could increase earnings sensitivity to one lease, especially if sector headwinds or usage changes affect long term space needs.
- ⚠️ The move comes against a backdrop where analysts have flagged occupancy pressure and interest coverage as key risks, so additional capital tied to renovations and relocations may constrain flexibility if conditions tighten.
- 🎁 Hosting the Commanders in Foggy Bottom may support occupancy and brand appeal across nearby properties, which can help leasing in a competitive office market.
- 🎁 Moving into a newly renovated downtown office can signal confidence in DC as a core market and help BXP’s own staff operate closer to tenants and development activity.
What To Watch Going Forward
From here, keep an eye on leasing metrics and disclosed terms around the Commanders’ space, including remaining lease length, rent levels, and any associated capital commitments. It is also worth watching how occupancy and cash flow from the renovated downtown building show up in future quarterly results, alongside the company’s EPS guidance for 2026 of US$2.15 to US$2.29 per diluted share. Any commentary on additional relocations, asset sales, or redevelopment plans in DC will help you judge whether this move is part of a broader repositioning of the portfolio or a one off response to a single tenant opportunity.
