Well with today's forecast update for the Indycar Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, some big changes have been made, but they are ones that everyone will probably like.
THURSDAY
There will be a system moving through the area during the overnight and early morning hours on Thursday, and rain chances look to linger into the afternoon hours. Rain will be likely before 10AM, with it dropping to around a 50/50 chance afterwords. There may be a few claps of thunder, but the overall thunderstorm chances look low for now. When it's not raining, skies will be cloudy. Temperatures will start off at upper 50s at 8AM, around 59, and will rise to the upper 60s for the high, around 68 degrees. Winds will be out of the northwest at 3-8 MPH.
FRIDAY
Skies will start off partly cloudy but the clouds will be on the decrease throughout the day, as the system that brought rain to the area on the previous days moves farther away. Temperatures will start off in the lower 50s at 8AM, but will rise nicely into the upper 80s for the afternoon high, around 68 degrees. Winds will be out of the north-northeast at 5-8 MPH.
SATURDAY
The fair weather will continue into race day at the speedway. The morning will start off mostly clear, with the temperatures in the lower 50s at 8AM. The clouds will build throughout the day, making the skies partly cloudy, but these clouds will not have any rain associated with them. Afternoon highs will top out in the upper 60s, around 69 degrees. Winds will be out of the west-northwest at 3-7 MPH.
I will have radar up and running by tomorrow morning. Check back on our social media feeds and on the site for the latest updates.
