By: Harris Cooley Strong southerly winds will be sweeping over the area as Low pressure moves out of the area. A frontal boundary will shift winds northerly by Saturday morning bringing rain and scattered thunderstorms to the region that morning. These storms should be cleared out by the afternoon as sunny skies and dry air follow behind. Sunday may have some lingering clouds in the morning but clearing out with calm winds by the afternoon.
Wind speeds may provide some volatility in racing for Friday and Saturday with gusts reaching up to 40 mph. Sunday will likely have little impact on the racing as the weather clears up. A metric graphic is pasted below... By: Harris Cooley Low pressure over the area will keep clouds in the forecast through the weekend as moisture content will be high. Wind speeds will be quite low with temps staying constant around the upper 50's. Cloud coverage and mild temps could bring some grip issues as tires will have a harder time staying warm, let along if any drizzle falls on the track. Sunshine is expected to poke through for Sunday afternoon though so that will be important to keep an eye on as race time nears.
By: Harris Cooley Steady southerly winds will last through the weekend with gusty wind speeds in the afternoon. Cloud coverage sets in for Saturday and Sunday as southerly winds bring moisture ashore. Rain chances are present but low for Saturday afternoon as a result of the increased moisture and gusty winds. Sunday will be partly cloudy with gusty winds for race time, though nothing too impactful to the drivers.
By: Harris Cooley Northerly winds will be blowing strongly today thru the race. Clear skies will be present all day today with warm temps as the afternoon progresses. High wind speeds will cause grip issues on the track paired with drifting sand across the track all afternoon. Conditions will be quite good for the remainder of the race.
By: Harris Cooley We are back folks! We kick off the the 2024 Formula One season with beautiful weather as High pressure moves through during the first practice session. Northerly moderate winds are expected for Friday which could cause some issues with grip on the track as well as sandy conditions. Wind speeds die down Saturday and Sunday with clear skies and mild temps. These conditions should be favorable for the teams' first race of the season.
By Doug Schneider The end of 2023 is upon us, and that means it's time for our annual gallery of the best photos combining our two favorite things - weather and racing. 2023 was a great season for race fans, with tons of action and excitement in IMSA, IndyCar, F1, and SRO World Challenge. We can't wait for the 2024 season to start, and we will be back in a few weeks with the forecast for the Roar Before the 24 at Daytona. You can see our full schedule of race forecasts in the link at the top of the page. We are making a couple changes for next year. Scott Martin is stepping down from our team due to a new job and time commitments. Scott helped me start Racecast Weather 9 years ago, and he will be greatly missed. As a result, we will not be forecasting for SRO World Challenge America races. However, we will continue to have forecast for SRO's IGTC races. Harris will continue to provide you with forecast for Formula One. Stephen will return and focus on forecasts for the IndyCar season. And I will be back with forecasts for all IMSA events. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks for following! By: Harris Cooley Humid weather will be present to begin this race weekend as a northerly wind will be bringing moisture to the area. Slight chances for rain are present for Saturday afternoon with warm temps. Sunday will have clear skies and gusty winds as the center of a High moves in over central Saudi Arabia. Track temps should stay moderate with the cloud coverage for practice sessions. Racing conditions should be clear and mild for Sunday night. A metric graphic is pasted below...
By: Harris Cooley The Las Vegas GP is going to be an interesting one as the night time race will be quite chilly. This will surely have an effect on the tire grip. A frontal system is passing over the area Sunday afternoon bringing moderate to gusty northerly winds. Partly cloudy skies are expected for Friday and Saturday with calm winds giving the teams a chance to prepare for more volatile conditions Sunday night. A metric graphic is pasted below...
