State Fair Forecast


The State Fair begins tomorrow, September 24th, and the running joke has been, "If it's Fair time, it's going to rain." I've heard so many people make this remark with a chuckle over the past several weeks. But the first couple of days of the Fair look pretty good! Only a few isolated showers are possible Thursday, and afternoon high temperatures will be quite warm in the upper 80's. A cold front will move into the state early Friday, though, putting high temperatures through the weekend in the upper-70's. Most of Saturday looks dry as well, before a quick-moving upper wave swings through the region Saturday night into Sunday morning bringing rain chances to the state. So if you have plans to be at the Fair Saturday morning into early afternoon, or Sunday afternoon, it will likely not be raining during those times.

We'll be providing updates on the Fair forecast through the end of the Fair, which is October 4. Remember, the Fair is at a new location this year, at The Meadow Event Park at I-95 exit 98, next to Kings Dominion. Gates are open from 10AM-9PM. For more details on daily events, check here.
