A chilly weekend with some rain at the back end is in store for the Japanese Grand Prix. A Low pressure system will be moving through the region with a cold front bringing a long squall line that is slated to pass over the site Sunday morning. Leading up to this frontal passage, gusty winds will be present Friday afternoon with much calmer conditions for Saturday. Clouds begin to set in Saturday afternoon ahead of the storms which could pose a challenge for keeping tires warm.
Expect severe storms Sunday morning and possibly into the afternoon as the squall line makes its way through the area. Even if the storms pass before race time, the track will be wet and low temp which poses a challenge for drivers' strategies. I will monitor and update the timing of the storms for race day.
