2012 Charlotte Motor Speedway NASCAR All-Star Weather Forecast: Another Dry Weekend
0
FORECAST UPDATE WEDNESDAY 4 a.m. EDT (5/16/2012):
Looks like another nice weekend for racing this week at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Sprint All-Star race Saturday night and the Camping World Truck Series N.C. Education Lottery 200 Friday night.
Just quiet weather expected for Friday and Saturday. Both days feature mostly sunny skies and high temperatures near 80. Could be a little bit of a breeze on Friday but other than that I don’t see any weather issues in Charlotte. As for the Nationwide Race in Iowa on Sunday I will have a forecast for that out sometime later today.

2012 Darlington Raceway NASCAR Weather Forecast: Taming of the Shrew
0
FORECAST UPDATE THURSDAY 2 a.m. EDT (5/9/2012):
This weekend, NASCAR heads to the track that is “Too Tough To Tame” Darlington Raceway. Over the last few weeks it seems like Mother Nature has been a “shrew” that has needed some taming. Looks like mother nature will be on her best behavior in Darlington, SC.
High pressure will control the weather across the Carolinas. Expect sunshine over the weekend and comfortable temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s.

2012 Talladega Superspeedway NASCAR Weather Forecast: Hot With Isolated Storms
0
FORECAST UPDATE SATURDAY 2:30 a.m. EDT (5/5/2012):
It will be hot and sticky this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway for the NASCAR Nationwide series race on Saturday and the Sprint Cup race on Sunday. Hoping the action on the track is hotter than the temperatures in the stands. Each afternoon highs will be in the upper 80s to near 90. It will feel like the 90s with the high dew points making it humid and muggy.
With all the moisture around each afternoon there’s the risk for a few isolated or scattered thunderstorms. The likelihood of any activity hitting the track is low but if one were to form and move over Talladega Superspeedway it probably wouldn’t last more than 30 to 45 minutes. The biggest concern this weekend for fans will be the heat and summer-like steam.

2012 Talladega Superspeedway NASCAR Weather Forecast: Mostly Dry, Isolated Storms Possible
0
FORECAST UPDATE FRIDAY 1 a.m. EDT (5/4/2012):
Because of rain on Thursday at Talladega Superspeeday, NASCAR Nationwide Series qualifying has been canceled. Instead of qualifying later today there will be a Nationwide practice. The rest of the forecast looks to be on track for the remainder of the weekend.
The main challenge this NASCAR weekend will be the development and placement of isolated storms across Alabama. It will look and feel more like summer with humid conditions and highs in the upper 80s to near 90. Weak disturbance will move across the state this weekend and with plenty of heat and moisture in the atmosphere some storms could fire up in the afternoon. Although the severe threat is low isolated storms that do form could be strong.
I don’t anticipate any more major rain delays or cancellations like we saw Thursday but a storm or two over the next three days is possible and can’t be ruled out this weekend. If you are going to Talladega, prepare for the heat and steam of summer and make sure you have plenty of water. Also keep an eye to the sky and be weather alert for developing storms.

2012 Talladega Superspeedway NASCAR Weather Forecast: Hot With Isolated Storms
0
FORECAST UPDATE THURSDAY 1 a.m. EDT (5/3/2012):
With the exception of today, most of this weekend’s NASCAR weather forecast at Talladega Superspeedway is dry but very hot. The NASCAR Nationwide Series is scheduled to practice later this afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible through the afternoon and could cancel or reschedule these practices.
Friday through the rest of the weekend the general weather forecast is the same. It will be hot as high temperatures get into the upper 80s and even 90s for the weekend. It will also be very muggy with dew points into the upper 60s and near 70. With plenty of moisture in the atmosphere an isolated shower or storm can’t be ruled out. The likelihood of a storm causing problems for NASCAR this weekend is very low but still needs to be mentioned.
If you are going to Talladega this weekend, be prepared to sweat. Have plenty of water, take lots of breaks to rest and stay cool.

2012 Richmond International Raceway NASCAR Race Day Weather Forecast: Midday Update
0
FORECAST UPDATE SATURDAY 12 p.m. EDT (4/28/2012):
So you’ve looked at the radar today and you’ve started to get worried about tonight’s Sprint Cup Series Race at Richmond International Raceway. Expect a few light rain showers to move throught Richmond later this afternoon. The rain will be light but enough to clean off any rubber that was put down from last night’s Nationwide series race. This area of light rain should diminish and end between 4 and 5 p.m. EDT
Once the rain ends this should provide plenty of time to dry the track and get it ready for the scheduled green flag later tonight. I expect the start of the race to be cloudy but dry and temperatures near 60, but as the race goes on the chance of rain increases through the evening.
I tweeted that I think we have at least a 60 to 70 percent probability of getting an official race (geting to the half way point). There is a chance we can get the whole race in but with the chance of rain showers increasing into the overnight the odds start to decrease.
A lot of this will depend on the rain across the Ohio River Valley. Will it follow the same path as the rain this afternoon? Will it break up or stay farther north? Also what about the rain we don’t see yet, the rain that has yet to form? A lot of time it comes down to the rain you don’t see that you have to be the most concerned about. Will have more updates later this evening.

2012 Richmond International Raceway NASCAR Race Day Weather Forecast: Chance of Showers Tonight
0
FORECAST UPDATE SATURDAY 4 a.m. EDT (4/28/2012):
Will it rain Saturday night for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway Saturday night? That’s what everyone wants to know unfortunately the answer isn’t a straight forward yes or no.
It all comes down to placement of a stalled boundary to the north of Virginia and the timing of a system that will ride along this boundary Saturday afternoon and evening. Expect the day to start off dry with sunshine. As the day wears on more clouds are likely and there could even be a few showers that develop. If any rain does form in the afternoon it would be isolated to scattered.
Rain chance begin to increase as we go into the evening. It appears we should be mostly dry and mostly cloudy as we start the Capital City 400. As the evening goes on and we get later into the race the rain chances begin to increase.
Until we see when and where the rain will form it’s a tough call on whether or not we will get the full 400 miles completed. As I have been telling many of my followers on Twitter if I had tickets to tonight’s race and knowing what I do about the weather and this forecast, I would still go expected to see racing Saturday night.
As far as rain postponing the race until Sunday, the odds of that look low. I would expect it to be in the 20 to 30 percent probability, with a good 70 percent probability we see at least an official race Saturday night.

2012 Richmond International Raceway NASCAR Weather Forecast: Saturday Night Showers?
0
FORECAST UPDATE FRIDAY 2 a.m. EDT (4/27/2012):
Weather will be quiet for Friday’s NASCAR actitivies at Richmond International Raceway. It is Saturday and Saturday night when things get tricky. Cold front stalls south in the Carolinas on Friday. This will allow for high pressure to move in and provide mostly sunny skies to the region. It should also remain dry for Friday night’s Nationwide Series race.
Saturday’s forecast becomes more problematic as the same front that stalls across the Carolinas moves back north as a warm front then stalls. The challenge and question becomes where does this front stall. It appears that it will be close enough that showers will be a threat at anytime during the day and evening on Saturday. It doesn’t appear that it will be a large wave of rain but more the threat of scattered hit or miss type showers. I don’t think it will be a rain out, at least I hope not but showers and radar will need to be watched Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening.

2012 Richmond International Raceway NASCAR Weather Forecast: Chance Of Rain Saturday NIght
0
FORECAST UPDATE THURSDAY 6 a.m. EDT (4/26/2012):
Another NASCAR weekend and another challenging forecast. Warm front lifts to the north during the day Thursday. This will help to spread in showers and potentially thunderstorms during the afternoon. There could even be some breaks in the clouds for some sunshine that would spark storm formation in the afternoon. Off and on times of rain are possible today.
The same front that brought warm temperatures will drop south as a cold front Thursday night with more showers into early Friday morning. As the front pushes south it looks like Friday and Friday night could be relatively quiet. We may have fair and dry conditions on Friday night for the Nationwide race.
Saturday is when things get tricky. It’s timing different impulses that will ride along the stalled front to the south. Also if the front meanders a little more to the north showers and maybe a few storms could be possible Saturday and Saturday night. This will have to be watched closely because any rain Saturday night for the Sprint Cup race will be dependent on where that front is when if any of the forecasted energy arrives that rides along that stalled boundary.
So right now I am going to keep a chance of showers in the forecast. I will keep you updated over the next few days and into the weekend.
