The University-wide Commencement is expected to take place on the National Mall despite some forecasted showers, University Spokeswoman Tracy Schario said.
Tomorrow’s ceremony is scheduled to go on rain or shine but the University has booked the Verizon Center in case thunder and lightning forces the Commencement to move indoors. The weather has been rainy for two years running.
The Weather Channel and the National Weather Service both predict showers at 9:30a.m., when the procession is scheduled to be begin, but the chance of precipitation decreases as the morning goes on.
“It looks like it may be a wet start, but no dangerous weather is predicted,” Schario wrote in an e-mail Saturday night.
