The forecast for Petit Le Mans remains mostly unchanged since the initial forecast on Sunday. East to northeasterly winds will be present during much of the weekend, bringing cooler temperatures to the region, with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70's. Winds come as a direct result of an area of high pressure at the surface extending from New England into the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Partly to mostly cloudy conditions are expected for much of the weekend due to low level winds bringing moisture to the region off the Atlantic. Low level and surface winds will be generally from the same direction, resulting in some slightly stronger gusts each day.
A cold front is still looking likely to pass through the region on Saturday afternoon. Precipitation chances have diminished, however moderate winds will be present ahead of the front from the south to southwest with stronger gusts possible. After the front passes, temperatures will begin to drop as winds shift to the west to northwest. By the end of the race, temperatures are expected to be in the mid-to-upper 50's.
