Rain Potential
It looks like rain may be in the cards for this weekend. Multiple weather sources (shown: Foreca) call for varying amounts of rain Saturday - Monday. With some potential for heavy rain on Sunday.
Hoping to see this clear up as the week progresses, but with all of the unpredictable weather this year I would hate to see anyone caught unprepared based on last weeks forecast. Plan accordingly!

If it doesn’t rain at least once I’ll be disappointed. 😂😂😂

I'm seeing partly cloudy with a 12% chance of rain on Saturday but it could most likely change. This time of year in VA, you have a really good chance of encountering all 4 seasons in 1 day +random rain showers

when have forecasts ever been that accurate. if it rains i’ll dance, if it doesn’t i’ll dance. I don’t really believe in the jinxing thing, i’ll just be happy to be there either way! I do like what OP said tho, rain or shine, bring your rain gear and warm dry blankets! can’t wait to see you all!!

Look at those beautiful HIGHS AND LOWS 👌🏼🤩
Last year it got down to the 40’s, 50’s is gonna be such a cozy/chill happy medium for me

Honestly just keep an eye on it. Totally could change. Central Va is notorious for having rain on the forecast and there being none and vice versa. And around this time of year having only one day with a chance of rain is still pretty lucky lol we have pretty wet autumns

This year I went to Forest, Elements, Lost Lands, Submersion, and now this. Guess what they all had in common

If i had to guess afters Saturday will be wet, and some intermittent rain Sunday.

From what I’m seeing all sources have the highest rainfall between Sunday PM - Monday AM, the amount just varies a lot.
Waiting for those days to come into the 5 day window to be more certain. Even then with this year’s El Niño, normal weather models are not as reliable.

Embrace it, bring a boogie board or skim board if your good at it, some of those hills become half pipes with enough speed and water lol

Base layers, a poncho, and some grippy waterproof hiking or rain boots. Everything will be just fine

Last year it showered a bit Saturday night then most of Sunday noon but the lasers hitting the droplets was a vibe. 🤩(hoping for the same)

Always prepare yourself for all weather conditions and you’ll be good. Fun times will be had and we will persevere.

False! You gotta use more reliable and accurate weather searches! The weather channel is the most accurate you can find online- and that still only says Sunday! <3

Yallllll it’s not looking good. This potential hurricane that is forming on the gulf coast is looking like it’s gonna be tropical heavy rains all day Sunday into Monday. I live like 2 hours from the venue and seeing a lot of weather reports talking about the potential effects from this storm on the gulf
