The weather report remains mostly the same as this Low pressure will be passing through the area beginning Friday afternoon through Saturday evening. The pressure gradient will be tight over the area bringing moderate to gusty southwesterly winds and pockets of convection. Strings of storms will be passing through the area so rain chances will be sporadic and scattered. Saturday afternoon presents the largest chance for showers, though these should not be too severe nor long lasting. 

The evil clears out by Sunday for the most part with some lingering instability and moisture that could give way to isolated storms, but chances are  low as of now. Wind speeds will be lighter and from the northwest as well, just in time for the race. These conditions should give the teams' some extra variables to take into consideration when forming their strategies, so we are in for a treat this weekend. A metric graphic is displayed below...

As we head to Silverstone, a large Low pressure system will be settled in West of the site giving us a chance for some spotty showers into the afternoon. The pressure gradient will be tight over the area giving way to moderate and gusty winds out of the southwest.

Saturday presents a mostly cloudy day as winds remain southwesterly carrying moisture, but rain chances are near none. By Sunday, the pressure gradient is expected to relax a bit calming wind speeds down and shifting to a more northwesterly direction. A small chance for spotty showers is possible, but we should see some sunshine mixed in there as well. A metric graphic is posted below...

The front from the initial forecast has lagged and is set to push through Friday night into Saturday with overcast skies and scattered showers throughout its passage. Wind speeds will be moderate and gusty through Saturday as well beginning as westerlies and shifting more northwesterly by Saturday night. 

Sunday presents a much better day as the front will have passed and calmer, drier conditions will prevail. The pressures over the area will be higher and the gradient will remain tight keeping wind speeds light to moderate. Hardly any moisture is expected as the site will be fresh out of a frontal passage. Drivers will have to earn their spot on the grid this weekend and will likely be rewarded with some good weather for Sunday. A metric graphic is posted below...

As we head to the Canadian Grand Prix, we will be right in the middle of a change in weather patterns. A large Low pressure system will be moving southeast over the site Friday bringing scattered showers to the area. These storms could develop into thunderstorms so surveillance will be necessary. Winds will be moderate and gusty throughout the day into Saturday as will with the passing on this Low. 

The bright side is that with this 'Frontal passage' comes beautiful, dry weather behind it. Saturday presents a clear day with moderate winds and mild temps as the pressure gradient heightens and tightens over the region. Sunday is much of the same with a few more clouds and lower wind speeds making it a prime day for racing. Updates to come as this system develops and as always a metric graphic is posted below...

The weather for this weekend is expected to be quite mild with gusty winds Friday. These winds are expected to calm down by race day as the center of a High pressure is expected to settle over the area. This will relax the pressure gradient and keep moisture levels down. Partly cloudy skies are expected most of the weekend, but track temps will remain high with these high ambient temperatures. 

These conditions are likely to remain the same, but I will continue to watch for changing weather. A metric graphic is displayed below...

As we head to the historic Monaco GP, Friday and Saturday are offering perfect conditions with sunny skies and mostly calm winds. We could see some gusty winds blow Friday afternoon, but the pressure gradient relaxes a bit through Saturday keeping wind speeds low. A bit more moisture and cloud coverage will set in as we get closer to Sunday due to a large Low pressure system south of the site over the Mediterranean.

By Sunday, the pressure gradient over the site will be tightened increasing the wind speeds a bit but also bringing scattered storms to the area. These storms could linger a bit longer than usual due to the instability of the atmosphere across the whole region. They are expected to last intermittently through the afternoon which could cause some strategy issues for the teams. I will continue to monitor the timing of these storms and keep you all updated.

The weather is looking to be sunny and hot with light winds throughout this race weekend. Higher pressures with a relaxed gradient will be settling over the site in the next few days which will keep moisture and wind speeds low. Gusts could pick back up a bit by Sunday afternoon, but nothing to alarm the teams too much. These conditions will likely remain through the weekend but I will continue to monitor these conditions for any changes. A metric graphic is displayed below...

The forecast remains much the same for Miami with hot weather, moderate winds, and scattered thunderstorms throughout the weekend. A large Low pressure system in the Northwest Atlantic is causing a tightened pressure gradient over the site which will keep moisture levels high as well as wind speeds going into Sunday. This is not uncommon for May in Miami, but teams will need to monitor the weather at all times throughout their practice sessions and race. A metric graphic is posted below...
