West Virginia's 36th Annual Bridge Day celebration is less than a week away! On Saturday, October 17, it's estimated that over 80,000 spectators will travel to Fayette County to witness one of the largest extreme sports events in the world. Hundreds of BASE jumpers will take the nearly 900 foot plunge off the bridge into the New River.
If extreme sports aren't for you, maybe you're planning to attend Bridge Day for the food, crafts, or beautiful fall foliage. Regardless of your reason, the weather will impact your visit. The current forecast for Bridge Day is mostly sunny with a high of 55 and a low of 31. There is a 0% chance of precipitation, and the wind will be northwest at approximately 11 mph.
This past weekend when I stopped at the New River Gorge visitor center, a few leaves had turned, but the majority of the gorge was still green. Leaves are expected to peak around mid to late October. Hopefully this week's weather conditions will allow for a colorful Bridge Day!
I have never been, but think it would be neat to go one year.
