First forecast for Trans Am at the Keystone Speedfest presented by Lux Performance

The Pittsburgh International Race Complex is a new location for our forecasts. Trans Am will be part of a big race weekend that will also feature the F3, F4, F1600, F2000, and Formula Atlantic championships. So if you're in the western PA area, be sure to get out and enjoy some great racing. The weather looks like it will cooperate over the weekend. 

On Friday, there will be a low pressure trough that will be moving across the Great Lakes region, which will pick up moisture from the south and spread it across Pennsylvania through the day. The majority of this moisture will be in central and eastern PA, with the Pittsburgh area in the western edge of it. This keeps some uncertainty in the forecast regarding how much rain (if any) will be at the track on Friday, but for now I have a 40% chance in the forecast. With only a slight shift one way or the other, that rain chance could rise or lower in the next few days, so stay tuned. 

The models are in pretty good agreement that the rest of the weekend will stay dry. Behind the departing trough, a large high pressure ridge off the east coast will build across the Southeast and Mid Atlantic region. This should steer any disturbances in the flow well north of the Pittsburgh area, and provide mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures in the mid 80s.
