A perfect storm is possible during Sunday’s Ravens-Rams game in Baltimore — heavy rain is expected, along with the ongoing light rail shutdown.

The rain starting Sunday morning in downtown Baltimore is expected to last into the night, with some storms possible and between three-quarters and one inch of precipitation forecast throughout the day. Additionally, a flood watch covering most of central Maryland will be in effect from 1 p.m. into Sunday night. Those hoping to stay dry while watching the game can catch it on their local FOX network (channel 45.1 in the Baltimore area) at 1 p.m.

Meanwhile, the Maryland Transit Administration has shut down the light rail indefinitely as the mass transit service undergoes repairs. But express shuttles to the area of M&T Bank Stadium will be running alongside regular buses filling in for the faulty railcars.

Beginning at 10 a.m. Sunday, express shuttle buses will run from both Glen Burnie/Cromwell and Timonium Fairgrounds stations and go directly to Camden Yards, according to the MTA. Starting at 3 p.m., the express buses will run from the Camden Yards stop to the Glen Burnie and Timonium Fairgrounds stations. No express shuttle buses will run directly to or from the BWI Marshall Airport stop, the MTA said, noting that passengers headed for the airport should instead take a designated bus bridge route toward Cromwell and switch over at North Linthicum.

Other shuttle buses will stop at each light rail station. A full list of stops is available here.

Sunday’s temperatures are expected to reach a high of 60 degrees. Rain is predicted to continue into the night, along with wind gusts of nearly 30 mph, possibly becoming mixed with snow that is not expected to accumulate much on the ground. The precipitation is forecast to end around 10 a.m. Monday, when skies are expected to start cloudy but gradually become more sunny, along with a high temperature of 45 degrees.
