Pack your umbrellas and ponchos this morning: Heavy rain—what the Capital Weather Gang is calling a “vicious springtime cyclone”—will hit the city today, with a flash flood watch in effect from noon to 5 a.m.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

• Heads up: Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway will be closed this weekend.

• Elon Musk’s D.C.-Baltimore “Hyperloop” looks much less impressive than originally planned. In a 400-page draft environmental assessment of the project, released this week by the Department of Transportation, the Boring Company estimates that initial daily ridership capacity will be only 1,000 in each direction every day. As WAMU points out, that’s less than the capacity of an eight-car Metro train.

• A Georgetown University study of 40 Uber drivers in D.C. found that one-third reported “assaults or safety concerns,” and that many reported going into debt to work for the company.

• The current occupant of the White House is a fan of Dan Snyder, saying he’s “done a very good job.”

• Maryland Governor Larry Hogan signed 195 bills into law on Thursday, among them a measure to establish a commission that will research racially motivated lynchings in Maryland.
