The weather continues to look terrific this weekend at Watkins Glen.

I'm happy to report that the weather for this year's Six Hours of the Glen looks much better than last year. The conditions last year were really difficult for teams to deal with, as there were on and off showers through most of the race. While there is a chance of rain that may affect some of the support races on Friday afternoon, I'm confident that the Six Hours on Sunday will be held in dry conditions.

Storms Overnight, But Rain Moves Out Before Noon at Road America

Forecast has changed ever so slightly for the overnight hours on Saturday and into the day on Sunday. Looks like the main timeframe for showers and storms to be in the Road America area will be from 3AM - 11AM Sunday morning. With an approaching cold front and instability already in place, the SPC had defined the Elkhart Lake and Plymouth areas under a Marginal Risk for severe storms until 7AM Sunday morning. The progs on this system is not really all that impressive for severe storms in this part of the state, but the 0-6km bulk shear will increase to 25 to 35 knots, and CAPE values will be in the 1,000 to 2,000 j/kg range, so an isolated severe storm could be possible. Main threat will be from dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning, damaging winds, and some hail.

Drier air will work into the area for Friday, as a high pressure area will move in during the overnight hours tonight and into the early morning hours on Friday. Some fog may form during the early morning hours, but otherwise skies will be sunny and temperatures will be warm. Afternoon highs will top out in the upper 70s. Winds will start off out of the northeast at 5-10 MPH during the morning, but will shift out of the southeast at 5-10 MPH during the afternoon. Chance of rain is 0%.
