Atlanta and Nashville Weather

[strandinthewind]

Many Ledgies are travelling to Atlanta for the concert this Sat. and to Nasville for the concert on Friday night. So, here are the forecasts from yahoo.com.

http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USGA0028.html is reporting for Atlanta:

Friday: Scattered thunderstorms. High 79F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

Saturday: Partly cloudy, chance of a thunderstorm. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the low 60s.

Sunday: Isolated thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the low 60s.

This is better than 100% thunderstorms as Chastain is NOT covered except for about 20 seats in the far L ORCH and R ORCH. But, when there is a threat, I always suggest a hooded poncho, which can be bought ahead of time at Target or Home Depot usually for less than $5.00. If you do not use it, throw it away if you do not want to carry it, etc.

I've been a little concerned about the Atlanta weather...since like you said Chastain is completely (basically) uncovered...but the tix DO say RAIN/SHINE..so I'm hoping everything goes ok..I just worry about every possibility before the show.. Do they allow umberellas I wonder? Although I wouldnt wanna hold an umberella

I have seen umbrellas there before. But, I am unsure is they are really allowed, etc. Chastain Park is run by the City of Atlanta and tends not to be a pillar of efficiency Again, I have always found the cheapie ponchos the way to go. I also usually bring a roll of two of paper towels (usually in the picnic basket - not baskets are allowed for this rock concert setup) so I can wipe the wet seat after the shower. Can you tell I have done this a few times I am sure it will all turn out okay, I just believe in an ounce of prevention . . . .

I wouldnt wanna hold an umberella during a concert...where could i get one of those ponchos at??

Also---what kind of weather permits a cancellation???

No prob. I usually get mine at Home Depot - they are usually on the racks by the check out registers. If not Target or Wal Mart also has them. Caveat - I have not bought one in about two years. So, things may have changed. Interestingly. Yahoo weather is not saying only a "SLIGHT" chance of showers. I think we will be okay, but you never know!!!!!

I have been there when it was raining so hard you could barely see the stage LOL - so, unless the lightening creates some kind of safety situation, I think the show goes on.

Do most ppl usually stay anyway? I'd hate to see the crowd diminish...
