Forecast update: Trans Am at Road Atlanta

The forecast for Trans Am at Road Atlanta today through Saturday is panning out pretty much as expected, but I've made a few small changes today.

Today's weather will start off mostly cloudy, and there are a few light sprinkles showing up on radar this morning, but much of it is not reaching the ground. I can't rule out a few drops of rain this morning, but since it won't be enough to measure, I'm not forecasting any chance of rain today. There will be some clouds remaining through the day, but the afternoon should see more sunshine than the morning. Highs will be warm, in the upper 80s, and winds will be from the west at 10 to 15 mph this afternoon.

Friday will likely see more cloud cover than today as a low pressure system approaches from the west. This will keep temperatures cooler, in the lower 80s. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to arrive at the track after activities are done, mainly 5 pm or later. So even though I have a 50% chance of rain in the forecast, no impact on racing is expected on Friday.

Showers and thunderstorms will move through on Friday night with the passage of a cold front, but some showers may linger into Saturday morning until the upper level trough exits. Scattered light showers will be around the track through the morning, and the track will likely remain wet for the morning's TA/TA3/TA4 race. The chance of showers will be gone by noon, and the rest of the day should have improving conditions with some sunshine breaking through at times. Winds will shift to the northwest on Saturday, bringing cooler temperatures in the mid 70s.
