A cold front is expected to move through the Southeast U.S. on Friday, which will bring a good chance of showers and thunderstorms to Barber Motorsports Park. Details are uncertain this far out regarding timing, intensity, and coverage of storms, but if you're going to be at the track on Friday, be prepared with rain gear and a plan to find  shelter when thunderstorms approach. Once the cold front pushes through, drier and cooler air will follow, and the rest of the event looks like it will have beautiful weather, with comfortable temperatures and humidity under sunny skies.

Nothing too crazy is in store for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as a loose High pressure gradient will be laid over the area through the weekend. We can expect cool mornings and hot afternoons with low humidity, so by night fall we should have pleasant conditions for drivers. Wind speeds will be low all weekend as well so sand on the track and hazy conditions will likely not be a threat. Drivers will get a respite from dealing with volatile weather conditions for these Middle East races. See metric graphic below...

We have some pretty seasonal weather for the Bahrain Grand Prix as it is going to be hot and humid out there. Gusty winds in the afternoons as the sea breeze sets in, but should be calm by the night time hours of race day. A Low pressure system is moving through Friday that will also kick wind speeds up a bit but dies back down for Saturday's session. Sunday will be like most years' past with little consequence from the weather outside of having a warm ambient temperature. We will get back to some more volatile weather when we get going with our Europe races. See metric graphic below:

A beautiful weekend is on tap for IMSA and INDYCAR at Long Beach. The main impact will be morning fog, as a southerly wind from the ocean will bring the marine layer inland each morning. With daytime heating, the fog will dissipate, likely by 10 AM, but it could impact some of the morning sessions. Temperatures will be pleasant, if a bit cool, reaching the upper 60s to lower 70s each afternoon.

A chilly weekend with some rain at the back end is in store for the Japanese Grand Prix. A Low pressure system will be moving through the region with a cold front bringing a long squall line that is slated to pass over the site Sunday morning. Leading up to this frontal passage, gusty winds will be present Friday afternoon with much calmer conditions for Saturday. Clouds begin to set in Saturday afternoon ahead of the storms which could pose a challenge for keeping tires warm.

Expect severe storms Sunday morning and possibly into the afternoon as the squall line makes its way through the area. Even if the storms pass before race time, the track will be wet and low temp which poses a challenge for drivers' strategies. I will monitor and update the timing of the storms for race day.

We travel to Shanghai for the second race of this 2025 F1 season and find some mostly pleasant weather while out there. A deep Low pressure system Northeast of the site toward Japan will induce a High pressure system that will be sitting just east of Shanghai over the East China Sea. This will keep a steady westerly flow over the region through the weekend with pockets of gusty winds in the afternoon.

Friday and Saturday will be clear and mostly calm with the only threat to teams being high track temps. Sunday presents a bit more of a challenge as a band of scattered light rain is forecasted to be moving through the region. Chances are low as of now for any major impacts to the track or that the precipitation materializes at all, though it is worth mentioning after the major impacts of the rain to last week's race. I will keep a close eye on these rain chances and any impacts to the race. For now, we can expect clouds to set in that afternoon with a small possibility of short-lived rain.

A large high pressure ridge over the west coast will provide sunny skies and warm temperatures for the INDYCAR weekend at the Thermal Club. Temperatures will be rising each day as the ridge shifts a little farther east, reaching into the upper 80s by race day. Winds will be light each day, and generally coming from the north.

We are back with another season of Formula One! We start right off with some volatile weather in Melbourne as the afternoons will be gusty for Friday and Saturday. A Low pressure system will be passing through the region Sunday bringing a line of scattered storms that afternoon. Wind gusts reach up to 35 mph paired with a rainy afternoon giving teams a tough task right off the bat.

Practice sessions will be mostly clear and clean for Friday and Saturday outside of high track temps. Sunday will give teams a good taste of how sound their strategies are as there will be a couple different elements to balance. The new faces on the grid will be tested early this season!
