It's going to be a great week as the season opener for the NTT Indycar Series at St. Petersburg is this weekend, and what a way to start off the season with nearly perfect weather.

Friday will start off the event with mainly sunny skies with only one or two clouds floating overhead throughout the day. The good news is that temperatures will be great as afternoon highs will reach the mid-70s. Winds will be averaging 5-10 MPH out of the southeast at first and shifts to out of the southwest by the mid-afternoon hours.

We'll have a few more clouds on Saturday, but there will still be more sun than clouds. There is a very small chance of a brief passing shower during the afternoon hours, but we are only looking at a 20% chance. Afternoon highs will be warmer, topping out in the upper 70s. Winds will be averaging 5-10 MPH out of the southeast at first and shifts to out of the southwest by the mid-afternoon hours.

Sunday will have a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day but we'll stay dry. The main difference will be winds will be breezy through the day and could gust as high as 25 MPH at times. Afternoon highs will once again top out in the upper 70s and may briefly touch 80 degrees. Winds will be averaging 10-15 MPH with gusts up to 25 MPH at times out of the southeast at first and shifts to out of the southwest by the mid-afternoon hours.

We'll have radar up and running by Friday morning, but we'll only need it for a brief time on Saturday. I'll have another forecast update out on early Wednesday morning, unless there need to be a major change. Have a great day!
