It is setting up to be a wet weekend at Watkins Glen. A large high pressure ridge will be located across the Ohio Valley and central Appalachian region, south of New York. A front will be lingering near the Finger Lakes region through the end of this week, which will be a focus for showers and thunderstorms. With afternoon heating creating some instability, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop each afternoon near the front.
The best chance of showers and thunderstorms appear to be on Sunday, when another front and low pressure system will push toward the area from the west. This should bring greater coverage of showers and storms during the race. There may be some stronger storms that produce heavy rain and frequent lightning, and may result in some delays or stoppages during Sunday's race.
