The main changes to the forecast today is to increase rain chances on Friday, and to lower temperatures. The low pressure system that will move across the Ohio Valley region has slowed down, and will still be in the area for Carb Day. This will result in numerous showers through the day, and possibly an isolated thunderstorm in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I think the showers will be frequent enough to prevent any on track activity on Friday.
The good news is that Saturday and Sunday should have excellent weather. High pressure will build over the area on Saturday, providing mostly sunny skies and pleasant temperatures in the mid 70s. The high will shift east on Sunday, resulting in warmer temperatures and stronger south winds. Winds during the race will be sustained at 10 to 15 mph, with gusts of 20 to 25 mph at times.
