Not much change was needed to the forecast for VIR today as it looks like the dry pattern will hold up through the weekend. A large high pressure ridge through the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere will be sitting over the region, keeping any rain away from the track but also keeping temperatures rather hot. There will be a weak cold front that is expected to move through on Friday night, but it will have little impact on the weather as it will be lacking enough moisture for rain, and temperatures won't drop much behind it. The only change will be that winds will shift to the northeast behind the front on Saturday. In my previous forecast, I had considered putting in a slight chance of showers on Sunday, but I'm getting more confident today that a dry forecast for Sunday was the right call.
If you're going to be at the track, don't forget the sunscreen, and be sure to drink plenty of water. Take frequent breaks in an air conditioned building, such as the TMI Racing Products store. And if you see a guy in a gray Racecast Weather polo shirt, stop and say hi - that's me.
