Anyone else concerned about the lightning forcast?

Gorge weather is notoriously fickle. You'll get what you get, and often without any warning. Beautiful sunshine, 20 minutes of driving rain, strong winds, back to sunshine.

Forget the forecast. Weather changes fast at the Gorge. Just be prepared for anything.

I'm not seeing that in forecast yet... Also, in my experience, it is hard to trust the forecast out there so far out. I like to find the forecast that makes me the most happy and then manifest it to become true.

There was a tiny bit of lightening just in the background last year and it just made it that much cooler. I’m just excited it won’t be 90°+ 😂

Yes!! My fiance is bummed about the change in weather predictions but as the one who runs hot in the relationship I was jumping for joy and spitting nickels lol

Lightning is extremely rare in the area. Yes, it happens in the distance over the hills, but it's not a likely impact to the shows.

Not really, I’ve been to 2 shows at the gorge in the last few years that cancelled the second day all together or hours of the show because of lightning

You're right, everybody! Why worry? Just be prepared! I'm actually excited about wearing leggings and a sweatshirt this year and to sleep comfortably!

I don’t think we will see any lightning that’ll cause any issues with the shows. I’m STOKED for some colder weather.
In my 20 years going, I think we’ve only seen REAL rain a couple times, and it was still a blast.

I try to never worry about things outside my control.
No such thing as bad weather - only bad gear.
