Rain-free conditions are expected later this week for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. A weak disturbance could bring some light rain or sprinkles at the track on Wednesday night, but by the time racing starts on Thursday, any chance of rain will be gone. A high pressure ridge will be over Florida through the rest of the weekend, providing very warm temperatures each day and mostly sunny skies.
One thing I've learned from years of forecasting at Sebring is that the temperature often gets hotter at the track than the surrounding area, so you may see other forecasts out there that have slightly cooler temperatures. I think the Sebring "heat island" effect will add a few degrees to the high temperatures, with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s F (lower to mid 30s C).
