Muggy Weather, Downpours to Dampen the Governors Ball Music Festival in New York

It's going to be another wet weekend for Governors Ball

What to Know

  • It's going to be a cloudy, wet weekend for Governors Ball in New York City
  • Thunderstorms are expected on Saturday afternoon, with a high of 82
  • The weather should dry out for the festival Sunday, although showers are still likely

If you're headed to the 2018 Governors Ball Music Festival -- or planning to do anything outside this weekend, for that matter -- you might want to pack a change of clothes.

That's because if the muggy and warm conditions and pop-up thunderstorm's don't get you, the significantly cooler conditions on Saturday will have you reaching for a sweatshirt. 

Saturday's conditions will be very similar to Friday's, with isolated storms and highs spiking into the 80s amid high humidity. 

Sunday will give you a chance to dry out, with the weather looking mostly cloudy. However the temperatures are set to drop, with a high of just 68, Storm Team 4 says.

Governors Ball has a history of rain. Festival-goers were forced to trudge through mud in 2013, and the final day of the concert was canceled in 2016 because of the weather.
