Forecast Update for Pirelli World Challenge at COTA

By Scott Martin

SATURDAY
Day will start off with a few cloudy and definitely warmer than yesterday. I'm actually bumping the daytime highs up to the upper 50s, with partly cloudy skies. Winds will be light today from the southeast at 2-5 MPH. Chance of rain during the day is 0%. Here is temperature and sky condition breakdown for today...

8AM - Partly Cloudy 44º
10AM - Partly Cloudy 48º
12PM - Partly Cloudy 54º
2PM - Partly Cloudy 57º
4PM - Partly Cloudy 57º
6PM - Partly Cloudy 56º

Tonight, skies will become mostly cloudy. A chance of rain before daybreak is not out of the question. If it does rain any at all, it will be a brief passing shower. Lows will be warmer due to the cloud cover and should only fall to the mid 40s. Winds will be from the southeast at 2-5 MPH.

SUNDAY
The latest model runs have come into good agreement, and it looks like that it may be a cloudy and a rainy day. Click on the images below to make larger.

As you can see by the images above, rain will unfortunately be included in the forecast throughout the day. Skies will be cloudy with an 80% chance of rain. Highs will top out in the mid 50s, with winds out of the east at 5-10 MPH.
