Much of the morning looks to stay dry at Indianapolis with mostly sunny skies, but as we reach the late morning and into the afternoon hours, clouds will build and rain chances quickly increase from 30% at midday to as high as 60% by 4 pm. Which means, we could see showers and thunderstorms move across the track during the afternoon hours, even throughout the GMR Grand Prix. 8 am temperatures will start off around 69 degrees and the daytime high should reach around 82 degrees. Dewpoints will be in the lower to mid-60s throughout the day, so it will feel a little muggy even with no rain falling. Winds will be out of the south to southwest to start with, but will shift to out of the west to southwest by afternoon, averaging around 2-8 mph. Rainfall amounts could exceed 0.25" if a storm passes over the track.
There is also a Marginal Risk for severe storms up for the area, so storms may become strong to severe, with gusty winds and small hail possible. Remember, if lightning is detected within a few miles of the track, all activity will be stopped and everyone will be instructed to seek shelter.
