.DISCUSSION...

Good morning Alex,

Thunderstorm chances will gradually increase through the day and
into the afternoon. Unfortunately, storms will be scattered in
nature and fueled by daytime heating rather than a front, so
confidence in whether or not the festival will be impacted is low
at this time. While severe weather is not expected, any
thunderstorms that do form will likely contain frequent lightning
and strong gusty winds. We`ll keep an eye on the radar and let you
know if we see anything heading your way.

Beside thunderstorms, heat will likely be a factor this afternoon
as the festival starts. Temps will be in the low 90s, but heat
index values are expected to rise into triple digits. Temps will
gradually ease as the sun sets.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions of
concerns and we`ll be happy to help in any way we can.

Have a great festival!
