There's no significant change to the forecast thinking today, but I wanted to get an updated forecast graphic up. It appears that rain showers will start to spread into the VIR area this evening, between 8 pm and midnight. Rain will start to really pick up in intensity Friday morning, and I expect the entire day to be a washout. The rain could be heavy at times. This will continue through Friday night. The frequency and intensity of rainfall should be diminishing on Saturday, but there will still be periods of rain through the day. I'm actually optimistic about the race on Sunday, as it looks like the majority of the rain will be exiting by the afternoon as the low pressure system pulls away and some drier air aloft moves in. The total amount of rainfall through the event is expected to be between 1 and 2 inches.
