Forecast for the NASA Eastern States Championships at VIR

8/30/2015

Virginia International Raceway hosts the NASA Eastern States Championships this coming weekend. The general weather pattern over the eastern states will feature high pressure over the Ohio Valley region on Thursday that will drift east to the Mid-Atlantic coast by Sunday. This high pressure ridge will likely have a stabilizing effect on the atmosphere, and so I am not mentioning a chance of rain in the forecast at this time. While afternoon showers could pop up, I think the chances of one at the track are too low to mention a chance of rain. The main weather concern will likely be the heat and humidity. It will be warm each day, with highs in the upper 80s, and it will feel humid, with afternoon dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s. 

There are indications that a low pressure system could develop off the Atlantic coast and move into North Carolina Sunday night and Monday. I am skeptical of this system even developing as models tend to do poorly with tropical low pressure development this far out in time, and even if it does develop, it may arrive after the racing is over. But it is something I will be keeping an eye on over the next few days. Stay tuned to my Twitter feed @Race4caster for updates through the week.
