There will be a slow moving cold front moving through the region for the weekend, bringing chances for rainfall each day. The greatest chances are expected to occur on Friday into Saturday, ahead of the front. However, due to the speed of the frontal passage, rainfall chances along the front may continue into Sunday. Winds ahead of the front will bring warmer air to the region from the Southwest, causing highs in the upper 80's. Behind the front, winds will shift to the North/Northwest, causing slightly cooler conditions to move in for the remainder of the weekend.
All this being said, some aspects for the forecast may still change between now and the race weekend. While creating this, the ECMWF forecast model switched the greatest chance for rainfall from Saturday to Sunday; the GFS and UK models still continue to show the rainfall on Friday/Saturday. We'll see how this plays out, but (hopefully) the outlook will be more concrete by the next forecast.
