First Look Forecast for the St. Pete Grand Prix

3/23/2015

Comments

 
By Scott Martin
Looks like it is going to be a busy weekend in St. Petersburg. Since there are so many series that are running, I have decided to make the forecast graphics for each major series. Like I said, its a busy weekend, so let's get to it.

THURSDAY
The day will start off mostly clear with just a few stray clouds. Clouds will start to build during the late morning and afternoon hours with a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm. I don't believe it will rain for long if it does, but I believe that we can make throughout the daylight hours dry (for now).
HIGH: lower 80s     WINDS: SW at 5-10 MPH     CHANCE OF RAIN: 20%

FRIDAY
The day starts off mostly cloudy with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning. Rain chances will actually increase during the late morning through the rest of the day. Looking at model data, it just seems to be scattered in nature, but enough of a threat to make the chances that high.
HIGH: lower 80s     WINDS: SW at 5-10 MPH     CHANCE OF RAIN: 20%

SATURDAY
Mostly cloudy skies will start the day off with a slight chance of a shower during the morning hours until 10AM. After that, skies will become partly cloudy and winds will be quite breezy.
HIGH: lower 70s     WINDS: NW at 5-15 MPH, Gusting to 20 MPH     CHANCE OF RAIN: 20%

SUNDAY
Perhaps the best day of the race week. Skies will be mostly clear with only a few passing stray clouds. It will be cooler than the rest of the week, and will especially feel that way with winds out of the north bringing down the cooler air.
HIGH: Upper 60s to 70     WINDS: N at 5-10 MPH     CHANCE OF RAIN: 0%
