Confidence is increasing that there will be a line of showers associated with a cold front that will move across Belle Isle in the late morning and early afternoon hours on Sunday. The timing window for these showers appears to be between 10 am and 2 pm. The activities that may be impacted are the IndyCar qualifying for Race 2 and Trans Am Race 2. If a heavier shower with lightning moves over the track, then delays are possible. I don't expect a lot of lightning, but a few cloud-to-ground strikes are possible. The good news that that the line of showers should pass through fairly quickly, probably lasting less than an hour and producing between a tenth and a quarter inch of rain.
I expect that the rain will be gone for the start of the Stadum Super Trucks race, which is scheduled for around 2 pm. After the showers move through, it will remain mostly cloudy through the day, with a west to northwest wind at 5 to 10 mph keeping temperatures cool in the lower 70s.
