A cold front will be working through the area on Friday that will bring a moderate chance of showers during the morning hours, and with the heating of the day, more showers and a few thunderstorms are expected to develop. Unfortunately, those higher rain chances look to come during the Downtown Speedway Parade. Skies will be mostly cloudy to overcast where there is no rain. Temperatures will start off in the lower 60s at the start of the day and will warm to just shy of 70 degrees for the daytime high. Winds will be out of the southeast to southwest at 5-10 mph. Chance of rain increases from 40% to 60%.
The cold front with the associated surface low will be slightly just to the east of Indiana on Saturday morning that will keep clouds and a small chance of a passing shower in the forecast during the morning hours. Once we get into the afternoon, skies will become mostly clear as clouds will be diminishing and rain chances dissipate. However, winds will be breezy out of the northwest, averaging 5-15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph at times. Temperatures will be cool throughout the day, starting off in the mid-50s and only rising into the upper 50s for the high. Chance of rain is around 30% to start, with chances decreasing throughout the morning.
Sunday will be a much brighter day at IMS as skies will be mainly sunny, but temperatures will remain on the cool side. A little breeze will make those temperatures feel even cooler at times as winds will be averaging 5-10 mph out of the west with the potential for gusts up to 20 mph. Temperatures will start off in the upper 40s when the gates open and will only climb into the lower 60s for the daytime high.
