I believe that most meteorologists would get frustrated, or just downright mad, at blowing a forecast. Especially when there was a setup for the possibility for severe weather. I am so glad that my forecast was blown. Areas near the track had thunderstorms, some of which did reach severe criteria, but thank goodness they all missed Lime Rock Park.
Since that has now passed the area, Saturday's forecast for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the Continental Tire SportsCar Championship events will be just simply awesome. Mostly sunny to sunny skies with afternoon highs reaching the low 90s. As the dew points are expected to be in the low 60s, the heat index will top out just above the high. Winds will be breezy out of the northwest at 10-15 MPH. Chance of rain will be zero.
It will still be a pretty warm day out there at the track. Utilize the available shade that is out there, sunscreen up, and stay hydrated. Have a great race day!
