Free Press

Free Press Summer Fest - there are a few bands I'd like to see, but it's going to be raining, and high humidity....perhaps they should call it the Free Press Sweat Fest!


Weekend events closing roads west of downtown


Events on the west side of downtown will force traffic detours starting Friday.
In preparation for the Free Press Summer Fest at Eleanor Tinsley Park, eastbound Allen Parkway closed at 10 a.m. Friday, festival organizers said. Westbound Allen Parkway will close at 7 p.m. Friday after the peak workday commuting period. Access to and from Interstate 45 to Allen Parkway also closes at 7 p.m. Friday.
All of the lanes will reopen at 3 a.m. Monday.
Sunday, the city's third Sunday Streets event will close Washington and Franklin between Studemont and Milam. The event is intended to allow people to roam the streets free of vehicle traffic.
Good fortune, however, isn't shining on either event, with heavy rainfall expected Saturday and scattered storms Sunday.
Festival goers stand a good chance of getting rained on this weekend.
Friday evening’s weather forecast calls for a 30-percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a 20-percent chance after midnight, according to the National Weather Service.
On Saturday, the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms in the morning is 50 percent, increasing to 60 percent in the afternoon, the weather service said. Things look up a bit for Saturday night, when the weather service predicts just a 30-percent chance of rain, with overnight lows around 70 degrees.
