2012 Martinsville Speedway First Look Weather Forecast: Chances Of Rain But Mostly Dry
01 month ago
FORECAST UPDATE TUESDAY 3 PM EDT (3/27/2012):
After the rain shorten race at Auto Club Speedway, NASCAR hopes to have better luck when it returns to the east coast and Martinsville Speedway. Both the Sprint Cup and Camping World Truck series are in action this weekend. Although I have a mention of showers in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday, it looks mostly dry.
Will be tracking a weak storm system moving through the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley Friday and Saturday. This system will drag behind a weak cold front. Along this boundary a few showers could form and are possible either Saturday or Sunday. The biggest challenge will be timing this system and determining how much moisture this system has to work with to create showers.
Keep in mind forecasts five to even seven days out can and many times will change especially when trying to time the arrival of a system and an associated weather fronts. The trend over the last few days has been to dry things out on Sunday, but until I see more solid evidence with each new updates I am going to leave the chance of showers in the forecast.

NASCAR Daytona International Speedway Weather: Growing Concerns over Sunday’s Forecast

| High: 86 | High: 65 Low: 56 |
High: 68 Low: 48 |
There are no weather concerns for Friday or Saturday. The weather story for Friday are very warm temperatures and strong gusty winds. Highs will reach the mid 80s and winds out of the southwest could gust up to thirty miles per hour.
Cold front sweeps across Florida Friday night and early Saturday morning. Its passing will be quick but not before it puts down rain across the area overnight. Rain and front are gone by Saturday morning but it will be noticeably cooler as highs only reach the mid 60s.
The main focus for this forecast has turned to Sunday afternoon. What once looked like a dry forecast just two days ago has become increasingly wet and unsettled for Sunday afternoon and evening. Moisture will spread in from the Gulf of Mexico as the same cold front that moved through Friday night begins to come back and become a warm front. This boundary will creep across north Florida bringing with it an increase threat of rain Sunday afternoon and evening. Rain that forms along a warm front usually is more wide spread and last longer than showers associated with a quick moving cold front.
Based on the current information, I am still optimistic for Sunday but keep in mind I’m cautiously optimistic. The forecast over the last thirty-six hour has grown increasingly pessimistic and wet for Sunday. I can’t say, “we won’t see rain on Sunday,” but I also can’t say, “The Daytona 500 will be a wash.” There’s just not enough information available to make that call. Again, I remain cautiously optimistic and if you plan on going the the Great American Race on Sunday, I’d prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

With the very warm air in place a few isolated showers have started to pop up this afternoon around Daytona International Speedway. The threat is low but showers have come awfully close to the track earlier today. The forecast is mostly dry for this afternoon 150’s but there could be a few drops.
The forecast became a little more complicated by the possibility of a few light rain showers on Sunday. A disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico will spread clouds and more moisture over northern Florida Sunday afternoon. The forecast models are beginning to show more of a threat of rain Sunday afternoon. At this time I am just mentioning a low threat of an isolated shower around. In this scenario most of the time and area looks to remain dry but as we have seen it only takes one rain shower to cause delays.
The rest of the forecast remains good for Friday and Saturday for the Camping World Truck Race and the Nationwide race on Saturday. Temperatures will remain warm for Friday as highs get into mid 80s with cooler temperatures on Saturday with highs near 70.

2011 Texas Motor Speedway NASCAR Weather Forecast: Wouldn’t Worry About Sunday’s Threat

FORECAST UPDATE Friday 3 AM EDT:
My focus for this forecast is on Sunday. A storm system will develop in the plains and move north, allowing for moisture to stream into North Texas from the Gulf of Mexico. Moisture alone won’t cause rain, you need something to cause “lift” in the atmosphere. Although there will be moisture available for rain to form there isn’t that trigger to cause lift and make showers.
I am not ruling rain out completely, but the likelihood that rain will form is very low for Sunday’s Sprint Cup Race. A lone shower could form and cause delays but I am not confident that will happen. I am just mentioning it cause it is a possibility. Other than that the forecast for Nationwide and Trucks looks very good, sunny and dry.

FORECAST UPDATE THURSDAY 3 AM EDT:
We’ve heard the sayings before, “Just schedule a NASCAR race in places that have droughts and it will end it” Because after awhile it feels like it rains every weekend even though only a small percentage of Sprint Cup Races have actually been rained out this year. Although Texas in the midst of one of its worst droughts in decades, there’s a Sprint Cup race on Sunday and there is a small threat of storms the same day.
I am only mentioning a slight chance of a thunderstorm forming Sunday. There will be a stalled front across the area and there could be enough of a disturbance along with some Gulf moisture to trigger an isolated storm or two. I am not very confident that will happen or that these storms (if they form) are a concern at all, but it is better safe than sorry.

FORECAST UPDATE THURSDAY 1 PM ET:
Cold front will move through the Mid-Atlantic and stall near the coast Friday into Saturday. Storm system will slowly move along this boundary Friday into Saturday bring it with it some steady rain showers. The good news, once this system passes high pressure builds in and clears out the rain and clouds late in the day Saturday with plenty of sunshine on Sunday. Temperatures will be very chilly over the weekend. Highs are expected to be in the low 50s and lows will drop into the 30s at night.
Although I don’t think Martinsville Speedway will see snow there could be snow in the western and northern Mountains in Virginia as this storm system moves in Friday and exits on Saturday. It is possible that some flakes could mix in but overall I don’t think we will see snow.

Heat has nothing to do with whether or not you get burned but the radiation you get from the sun. Have a great weekend and here is to some great racing at the track.
