You probably couldn't ask for a better forecast to end off the racing season than what looks to happen this week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. While Friday and Saturday look nearly picture perfect with mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine, we'll have to contend with some gusty winds on the first day of practice on Thursday.
Winds will be increasing through the morning hours and will be averaging around 5-15 MPH out of the south, but gusts up to 25-30 MPH will be possible during the late morning and into the afternoon hours. Other than the wind, no weather problems should occur as skies will be sunny with no rain expected. Temperatures start off in the lower 60s at 8:00 am and warm into the mid-80s for the afternoon high.
Friday and Saturday will nearly be identical in the weather department... There will be plenty of sunshine on both days with only a few passing clouds. Once again no rain in the forecast and afternoon highs will be mild. While both days will top out in the upper 70s, Friday will start off a little warmer near 60 degrees at 8:00 am with Saturday starting off in the mid-50s.
Sunday looks to be a great day at the track as well as skies will be sunny with maybe a cloud or two, but we'll stay dry and mild. Temperatures start off in the mid-50s at 8:00 am and top out in the mid-70s. Winds will be out of the north at 6-12 MPH.
