First of all, I want to say a big "thank you" to you, the site regulars, for being patient on forecast updates. In my home state of Alabama, the weather has been quite active with the remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy moved onshore and now has moved off to the east coast. Rainfall amounts over the past 3 days have been incredible, with most in our state receiving over four inches, with some nearing the ten inch mark. We have also had our share of destruction, with an EF-2 tornado touching down just a few miles down the road from my location. Today I woke up relieved because I knew there would be no severe threat for me today, even with rain falling at this moment. Now let's get to the forecast.
The above image is the latest HRRR model run showing the simulated radar valid at 1PM. On this model run, this is when the most active weather will be going on across Wisconsin today. The good news is that most of the activity stays well to the north of Road America. The bad news is that there will be some scattered activity around the area. Now I do not believe that the coverage of rainfall will be as great as it shows in the model, but I think that a passing shower is possible at the track. Skies will be mostly cloudy throughout the day, and winds will be quite breezy out of the northwest at 10-15 MPH, gusting to 25 MPH at times. I'm only going with a 20% rain chance today, as the model shows much of the day being dry at the track.
There will be a line of showers and storms pushing through the area after 7PM, but I think most of the action will go south of the track. There will be a good chance of rain falling though, so campers may have to find some shelter for a little while. There may be some thunder, but nothing strong or severe is expected.
I'm going with an almost completely dry forecast for Sunday as of now. Looking at the latest model trend, there will be more showers and storms forming throughout the afternoon hours, but most, if not all, of the activity will stay west of the track until after 5-7PM tomorrow evening. Skies will be partly sunny, and winds will be out of the west-northwest at 10-15 MPH. I'm going with a 20% rain chance because I do believe it will stay dry at the track, but a stray shower is possible.
Radar is up and running on the website, so please feel free to take a look at anytime throughout the weekend. Have a great weekend!
