This forecast is becoming more and more like a "can of worm." Sorry for stealing your terminology, James Spann. Load-in day for the Indy Lights Series (Monday) looks like a difficult one to forecast as of now. There is about a 60% chance of freezing rain in the area from about 3AM to about 9AM, which could make the area roadways a little difficult to travel. There is a possibility of "black ice" on bridges and on elevated surfaces. Another slight chance of freezing rain from approximately the 6PM to 11PM timeframe Monday night, with it possibly changing over to snow flurries after that until 5AM Tuesday morning. No accumulation is expected at this time.
As of now, Tuesday during the day just looks like to be a mostly cloudy and cool day. Winds will be calm during the morning with them picking up out of the SW during the afternoon. As of now, there is no rain chance before 7PM. During the evening and overnight hours, skies should be mostly cloudy with cold temps. Winds will be out of the W shifting to the NW. As of now, any rain chance will hold off until Wednesday.
Wednesday looks like its going to feature another mixed bag of weather tricks for us. Skies will be cloudy and there is a slight chance of more freezing rain or just a cold rain during the morning. No accumulations and travel problems are expected as temps should be above freezing. During the afternoon hours, skies will stay mostly cloudy with a chance of rain. If rain occurs, amounts should be less than 1/10 of an inch for the day. Mid 40s for the high with a light N wind. Wednesday night is much of the same. Partly cloudy and cold with a 30% chance of rain before midnight. Low should drop to around 30. Light wind from the N.
Thursday, as of now, appears to be the best day of the race week. Partly cloudy skies during the day with slightly warmer temps. No chance of rain to speak of (thank goodness) as of now. Highs should reach the upper 40s. Thursday evening appears to be partly cloudy with no chance of rain.
