Virgin Festival Weather

I'll be in South Texas this weekend, 94, 96 and 99, not bad considering Texas is hot as hell…

I'll be in the mountains of Northern California. 74, 71, 73 - with humidity probably hovering around 11%.

Bonnaroo taught me one VERY crucial thing. City hot & country hot are two COMPLETELY different animals . . .

and the difference between Bonnaroo and V-Fest is most of the artists i wanted to see there performed under nice tent like structures with open sides, so there was an occasional breeze to go along with with the shade…. boy am i'm glad not to be going as not even a VIP ticket would have it bearable for me, i thank the Police appearance at Bonnaroo for cementing the decision to pass this one up.

That's a little high on the humidity scale for us. Drink a lot of water.

And, I, sir, am all about the Mountain Dew Point.

Bring the heat, bring the humidity, bring the sweat, and bring on the twelve dollar imports to keep me cool.

Where are you getting your reports?

According to Accuweather (not that it's far off):

Friday: 97
Saturday: 94
Sunday: 90
Monday: 92
Tuesday: 94

I think this is for downtown Baltimore so you may be able to drop a degree for Pimlico. Either way you look at it, it looks gloriously hot. :cool:

Hope they have snowball stands. Snowballs are perfect for hot, steamy festivals like this. I suggest egg custard with a shot of gold tequila.

I only get my reports from Bob Turk, Marty Bass, or Norm Lewis. duh.

Ah. I almost never watch tv so I missed that. Will be slightly interesting to see, after the fact, who was closest.

I just heard thunder outside now, way off in the distance and it's looking kind of hazy. Hoping it rains to get some of the humidity and pollen out of the air. (I'm in Baltimore.)

After the fact I hope we have more to talk about than the weather :-)

wow, i forget what those temps feel like. i'll be enjoying this instead this weekend, unless i venture outside the city:

Friday: 67
Saturday: 65
Sunday: 63
Monday: 62
Tuesday: 63

they are calling for showers and thunderstorms saturday and sunday now (more likely on sunday however)

For Baltimore's Saturday forecast, according to weather.com…

"a few storms may be severe"

Oppressive heat and mud. Would you want anything else for a music festival?

I should wear my crappy shoes…
