So given they had decent downpours I’d call it 2 hours dry time from now (if they’ve even started)…the issue is gonna be what arrives within/after that time period which is gonna reset any drying that’s accomplished…radar looked like maybe a gap would develop…but filling in now

Indycar have just announced start of Quali is delayed, As you were pretty darn accurate yesterday, what sort of timeframe are we looking at for coverage to start ? cc @indynathan.racing @tracksideonline.bsky.social

Here’s where I’m at with the weekend forecast..timing is not as straight-forward as today’s rain as it’s a different set-up..bottom-line there’s a rain chance at any time Sat..but think most likely mid-morning to early afternoon. Outside of early AM storm, Sunday looks ok…tho hot and humid.

With Caio Collet now signed with AJ Foyt Racing, that leaves just one seat at Dale Coyne Racing, and the unconfirmed third seat at Rahal Letterman Lanigan left to fill. Yes, there is also uncertainty with Prema, but "officially" they have confirmed Callum Ilott and Robert Shwartzman.

I really don’t have any major changes to this forecast…only potential impact is possible low ceilings/visibility in morning…maybe some patchy light mist/drizzle in spots. Temps remain mild throughout. Winds should pick up each afternoon. #IndyCar

Here’s the Laguna Seca forecast for #IndyCar this weekend: no surprises in this one. 50s to mid-60s. Breezy in afternoon. Only potential impact is extent of low-level marine layer clouds in early AM..could get slight delay to early sessions (i.e. prac 2, warm-up), if conditions are right.

Don’t have much to change to the forecast as we head into Friday…I still see it as I described yesterday…seems pretty likely we’ll get some storms overnight/Friday morning…then I think radar settles down before becoming more active again late afternoon. I’ll have another update in the morning!
