Is it too soon to start making wild speculations? NOAA has released their spring weather outlook for April, May, June. Long story short, it MIGHT be hot.
Their should be a video in this spot not sure what's the problem
EDIT: I thought this thread started by Sproat for 2012 was fun last year.

If its raining when everyone is setting up we should help each other out by letting other people use our ezup canopys to set up their tents underneath so noone has a wet tent.

Every year I fully mentally prepare for 105 in the shade with lots of dust and at least one day of rain. Then it's always a relief that it's only 95 in the shade with 8 hrs of rain. I will only complain about the rain if it happens during setup/takedown, because well, that just sucks, no way around it. Just being prepared can make the difference between a great weekend and a difficult one. Heat and precipitation are just two facts of life in Tennessee in June, if you're not getting one, you are getting the other (last year was an anomaly, in all of my 30 years on this planet, I have never been so cold in June as I was on Friday night).
heads up folks! Weather is gonna be awesome this year regardless.... probably not as awesome as last year though. That pouring rain during the last phish set was pretty epic

My bf thought I was crazy for bringing my comforter. It was very satisfying to ask him who was crazy again after waking up that morning.

As someone that lives in the (fairly near) area, I can say that we have had RIDICULOUSLY mild weather this year. Spring was nearly a month late and we're still right in the middle of it, when we should be ramping up for summer. Atlanta has been well below average as well. Last year I was sweating my you-know-whats off at Derby; this year is going to be be lucky to hit 65 degrees. That being said, we keep hearing that this is a year for extreme weather (ie bad storms). I'm voting for mild temperatures with some crazy-ass rain. Hopefully nothing worse. What is the Bonnaroo plan for emergency situations like hail and tornadoes?

Damn I wished I could find the thread from 2010. Someone asked "Where do 80,00 people go if there's a tornado?" and another person simply responded "Up."

Probably about right. There's no shelters or anything on the property that I know of.

From the NOAA saftey guide:
In a car or truck: Vehicles are extremely risky in a tornado. There is no safe option when caught in a tornado in a car, just slightly less-dangerous ones. If the tornado is visible, far away, and the traffic is light, you may be able to drive out of its path by moving at right angles to the tornado. Seek shelter in a sturdy building, or runderground if possible. If you are caught by extreme winds or flying debris, park the car as quickly and safely as possible -- out of the traffic lanes. Stay in the car with the seat belt on. Put your head down below the windows; cover your head with your hands and a blanket, coat, or other cushion if possible. If you can safely get noticeably lower than the level of the roadway,leave your car and lie in that area, covering your head with your hands. Avoid seeking shelter under bridges, which can create deadly traffic hazards while offering little protection against flying debris.
In the open outdoors: If possible, seek shelter in a sturdy building. If not, lie flat and face-down on low ground, protecting the back of your head with your arms. Get as far away from trees and cars as you can; they may be blown onto you in a tornado.

Yeah that's not gonna work in the campgrounds!
Get into a big tent and hope that it carries you to safety.
