Is there a chance that we may see teams use rain tires at some point tomorrow? Have an umbrella ready just in case.
By Scott Martin - @RaceWx4You
A weak short wave impulse along with an additional low-level moisture flow into the area should allow for a few scattered showers to form at or near the event, mainly during the afternoon hours. Cloud cover will increase throughout the day, and temperatures will be held back a few degrees from where they topped out on Saturday. 8AM temperatures will start off near 70 degrees and only rise into the mid to upper 70s.
I'm keeping rain chances at 30%, and I believe that the rain will hold off until after the races have completed. If any rain does fall, it will only amount to less than 1/10th of an inch. Lightning will not be an issue as there will not be enough instability to support that. Just have an umbrella handy if one of these showers do move over the event. If rain does occur, I still believe that there will be only a small impact, and maybe not enough for rain tires. I'm hoping for that, and I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the rain stays away.
Radar will be fired up and going on our website and on the St. Petersburg Event Page on the Pirelli World Challenge website. Just click on the link beneath our logo. I'll also have updates throughout the day on our @RacecastWx Twitter feed and my personal feed as well.
