One thing that can either keep you very interested or make you very frustrated is a forecast that continuously changes. Fortunately, ever-changing weather keeps my job interesting. So far, looking over the model data coming in for this weekend at Thunderhill Raceway Park, conditions have improved from my Monday morning forecast to today's.

Friday looks to be a brilliant day out at the track with a good bit of sunshine throughout the day with only a few clouds. Temperatures will start off the track day around 49ºF at 9:00 AM, and will warm up to around 63ºF by the mid-afternoon hours. No rain is expected, and winds will be shifting from the northwest at the start to out of the south by qualifying time.

Models have come into better agreement with the system moving down into the area from the Gulf of Alaska on Saturday, keeping the better rain chances well north of the track. Unfortunately, there will be just enough moisture close by to merit a very small chance of showers during the entire racing day, when the best chances of rain activity occurring in the late evening hours on Saturday to the pre-dawn hours on Sunday. The temperatures will be around 48ºF at 9:00 AM then warming to around 53ºF at the drop of the green flag. The daytime high will be around 60ºF at the 3:00 PM hour and steadily dropping to near 50ºF at 8:00 PM.

Any rain activity should diminish before the 4:00 AM hour on Sunday morning and the skies will begin to clear somewhat. The morning low of around 41ºF will occur close to the 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM time period. Soon after, you will notice the winds begin to pick up in speed out of the north-northwest from 5 MPH up to 15 MPH by the late morning hours. At the checkered flag, the temperatures should be around 57ºF. The daytime high of around 60ºF will be reached during the post-race activities.

I'll have radar up and running starting on Friday morning on the website.
