While the forecast graphic is only for the days with the national championship runoffs, I'm also going to give the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
WEDNESDAY
Skies will start off partly cloudy this morning with clouds increasing as we head toward the noon hour. There is a very small chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm during the very early afternoon hours, around 20%. After that, skies will begin the clearing process and should be dry for the remainder of the day. It will be warm today, with the high reaching at or just above 80 degrees. Winds will be out of the north-northwest at 5-10 MPH.
THURSDAY
No rain expected for Thursday, and for the rest of the weekend at Indy. We'll have mainly sunny skies throughout the day with temperatures starting off in the lower 50s at 7:00 AM, and warming into the lower 70s for the high (around 72 degrees). Winds will be out of the north at 4-8 MPH.
FRIDAY-SUNDAY
As the forecast graphic shows, we can expect nearly perfect conditions for racing this weekend at Indy. Skies will be mostly clear each day, with highs running in the 69-73 degree range. You will need a jacket for the morning sessions as temperatures will be starting off in the upper 40s to the lower 50s at 7:00 AM each day. You will definitely need the shades, hats, and sunscreen. No umbrellas needed after today, unless you're using one for a little shade.
