FORECAST UPDATE Saturday 2 AM EST:
Rain was a problem for NASCAR at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday but it looks like Saturday and Sunday could be a little better. I am not going to keep rain totally out of the forecast but there will be more dry time than wet in my professional opinion.
Few scattered showers are possible during the morning hours Saturday. This would not be good for the Sprint Cup drivers as they are making up Friday’s schedule Saturday morning. The good news is the likelihood of these scattered showers decreases after 7am EST in the morning.
Although there could be a slight chance of an isolated shower or two, the rest of the weekend, the threat of showers like Friday are less and less. The weekend forecast for both Saturday and Sunday feature sunshine and clouds and an isolated shower or two with highs near 80…

FORECAST UPDATE SATURDAY 3:30 PM ET:
Rain is in the forecast Sunday for Phoenix International Raceway but the threat is for isolated to scattered light rain. Storm system will pass by to the south through northern Mexico. The bulk of the rain is expected to fall along the Mexico Arizona border but a few showers could develop and fall over the track during the afternoon Sunday.
I don’t expect the rain to be a problem on Sunday. If a shower does occur it may cause a yellow flag caution or worst case a brief delay but I don’t see this being postponed until Monday.

FORECAST UPDATE FRIDAY 2 AM ET:
Still expecting an upper level storm system to move in from the Pacific on Friday and then move south of Arizona Saturday and Sunday. With each run of the forecast models the system is farther and farther south. This is good news for NASCAR, because it takes most of the energy and rain threat farther south too.
Friday and Saturday should be fair with partly to mostly cloudy skies and highs in the mid to low 70s. There is a small chance of a shower on Sunday but it doesn’t appear to be a major concern. At worst a stray shower or two that result in a brief caution but other than that, mostly cloudy skies and cooler with highs in the mid to upper 60s.

FORECAST UPDATE THURSDAY 4 AM ET:
Rain is not a sure thing this weekend but it is very possible at Phoenix International Raceway this weekend. Storm system will move off the Pacific across the Baja Peninsula and northern Mexico later this weekend. The good news is this storm looks to stay to the south so it won’t be a strong storm for Arizona. The bad news is it allows for sub-tropical moisture to be pulled north by this storm increasing the threat of rain Saturday night into Sunday.
Models right now are not in agreement on what to do with the moisture and possible showers. One forecast model keeps the bulk of the energy and showers to the south along the Arizona/ Mexico border. Another has lot of moisture across the state Saturday into Sunday. At this point I am not thinking a washout, but expect the forecast to change as better information becomes available. If you’re planning on going to the race I’d plan on the possibility of showers, maybe have a backup plan (just in case), but overall I am thinking (as of now) we get this race in on Sunday.

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 SATURDAY 2:00 AM EDT:
I am going to take the mention of showers out of the forecast for Sunday. The next system will be close, causing strong showers and storms in western and central Kansas over the weekend. A large area of high pressure located in the eastern United States will keep those showers and storms from moving into Kansas City until Sunday night. It will be warm with temperatures in the low to mid 80s and also very windy on Saturday as gust could reach 30 mph

FORECAST UPDATE Thursday 2:00 PM EDT:
General thinking for this weekend at Kansas Speedway is it is mostly dry. It will be windy as a strong trough coming out of the Pacific northwest interacts with a ridge of high pressure currently over the Ohio Valley. Some wind gust could be 30 to 40 mph. Where the ridge and trough collide there will also be shower and storm development through the center of the country. Many of the models bring the rain to central Kansas and then stall it for the weekend. There are a few that bring it closer to eastern Kansas.
I feel the rain is a little too close for comfort. That is why I decided to mention it on Sunday when other forecasts are not. Like last week, the same places (AccuWeather, Weather.com and National Weather Service) had dry weather for Dover on Sunday. NASCAR got the race in but there were a couple of cautions due to light sprinkles. Just because I mention rain doesn’t mean it will happen I just feel it is important that you know exactly what I see and think, along with all scenarios possible for the upcoming race weekend.
