Gloucestershire and Nottinghamshire were frustrated by the rain on the second day of their promotion tussle at Bristol.
Only 16.4 overs were possible, during which time Gloucestershire moved from 13-0 to 73-1 in reply to Nottinghamshire's 216.
A draw is unlikely to be any good to either side in their bid to go up, and an unsettled weather forecast for the final two days of the game could force the captains to set up a contrived finish.
No play was possible in the morning session. An attempt was made at 12 noon, only for the players to come off for bad light just as the first ball was to be bowled.
The action finally started at 1.20pm and Nottinghamshire enjoyed success in the third over of the day.
Dominic Hewson pushed forward at a David Lucas delivery and was caught by Guy Welton at short leg for three.
That left the home county on 13-1 in the eighth over, but the next 13 overs produced 60 runs as Kim Barnett and Matt Windows cut loose.
Barnett was the main aggressor with an unbeaten 41 from 65 deliveries, with six fours cracked through the off-side.
All of them were taken off pace bowler Andy Harris, who was punished for offering too much width to his former Derbyshire colleague.
Windows had a couple of boundaries, one off Lucas and one off Harris, in his unbeaten 18, which was good enough to take him past 1,000 first-class runs in a season for the second time.
Windows has now scored 1,004 runs this campaign, with 14 of those scored for the First Class Counties XI against New Zealand A.
