In my post on Monday, I mentioned some uncertainty about the rain chances on Friday. That chance looks slightly higher today, due to a little more moisture and instability that could be present, and a weak upper level disturbance. But I still think that it is highly likely (around an 80% chance) that all racing activities will be held without any weather issues on Friday. Saturday continues to look dry, with temperatures during the race from the mid 80s at the start to lower 80s by the finish. There will be a south wind at 10 to 15 mph with gusts near 20 mph, which could create a tricky crosswind in turns 3 and 4.
By Doug Schneider The weather still looks good overall for IndyCar's visit to Texas Motor Speedway this weekend, but I have added just a slight chance of a storm on Friday with today's forecast update.
