My latest #Indy500 take: storm chance remains for Sunday..my best guess for now is as early as 2pm, late as 6pm..but timing not set. Also wondering if there isn’t a brief impulse that comes thru Sun morning with a shower..worth at least a mention but will see if it shows up in the overnight data

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.
Initial #Indy500 practice/quals forecast: Tue looks good..then rain overnight..so possible drying needed Wed AM, but rest of day is dry. Thu dry. Fri and beyond almost certain to change this far out…but long-range suggests rain chances are late Fri/early Sat and then Sun PM…for now

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.

Preview for Race 2 weather at Iowa Speedway tomorrow: a little warmer tomorrow afternoon, but with an earlier green flag time temps should actually be pretty similar to Race 1. Wind shift to the southwest…but not as breezy as today. #IndyCar
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!
