On Thursday, a cold front will be working through the southeastern United States with showers and thunderstorms out ahead of it. For the Daytona Beach area, showers and a few claps of thunder look to be likely during the early morning hours at the track. The good news is that the activity looks to come to an end around or just after the noon hour. Skies will begin to slowly clear and will be mostly clear by sunset. Winds will be out of the southwest at 10-15 MPH to start, but will shift more out of the west by the afternoon. The afternoon will be mild with the high reaching the lower 70s.

Friday will be a very nice but cool day in the Daytona Beach area. Skies will be full of sunshine but those jackets may be needed for the morning hours and possibly throughout the day as winds will be out of the north at 5-10 MPH. After starting off in the mid-40s at sunrise, expect the afternoon highs to only top out in the upper 50s.

Saturday will be a sunny day at Daytona International Speedway with temperatures starting off in the mid-40s at sunrise. The good news is that we'll make it up into the lower 60s for the afternoon high, but winds will continue to be out of the north to northeast at 5-10 MPH. For the evening and into the late night hours, skies will remain clear but temperatures will not drop all that much, making it into the lower 50s by midnight.

We'll have some clouds start to roll in during the pre-dawn hours on Sunday and early morning lows will only bottom out in the lower 50s at sunrise. Skies will be mostly cloudy by sunrise and through the rest of the daylight hours at the track, but we'll stay dry through the end of the race. Winds will shift from out of the north to out of the west at 2-7 MPH. Afternoon high will make it up into the lower 60s.
