NASCAR Weather Update...Tonight Probably OK, Saturday Not Good...

The weekend forecast remains on track. A few scattered showers and thunderstorms will pop up this evening, but the race at RIR should get done. Race time temperatures will average in the mid 70s. Tomorrow the weather will go downhill, with numerous showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon and evening. So conditions for the Russ Friedman 400 don't look good...I'd say we've got at least a 60% threat of showers and thunderstorms at race time (with temperatures in the low 70s). It certainly looks quite wet through the rest of the weekend, so even if they postpone the race, conditions will be less than ideal on Sunday.

The unsettled weather will linger into the early part of next week, with the threat for at least a few showers and thunderstorms remaining Monday and Tuesday. Then we'll gradually dry out and warm up during the middle of the week.
