Rolex 24 At Daytona: Forecast

Can you believe it? Race week is upon us. The forecast graphic may look a little different than usual this time. The information shown coincides with the schedule of when there will be on track activities at Daytona International Speedway.

Wednesday and Thursday will be the best days (as of now) this week. Skies will be mostly sunny and daytime highs will be nice. Clouds will start to build Thursday night as rain chances increase.

Friday appears to be the day with the best rain chances at the track. The image above is the latest run of the GFS model. This image is valid for 4pm on Friday and it does show that it will probably be a wet day with showers around the area. The latest QPF chart is showing a total of 1/2 to 1 inch of rain for the area through Saturday and I believe most of it will fall on Friday.

After the system moves through, it will start to dry out, but temperatures will be cooler during the daytime hours on Saturday and Sunday. There is a slight chance of rain for Saturday, but it looks like by the time nightfall approaches the speedway that those chances will be done. The overnight hours of Saturday night through early Sunday morning are just going to be downright cold for Daytona, as lows could drop into the lower 40s.

Sunday will start off cold, but the skies will be mostly sunny. Temperatures should warm to the lower 60s by the time the race ends.

We will have our live radar up for the whole race week and weekend, just click the Live Radar to view the latest image.
