FORECAST UPDATE FRIDAY 11 PM EDT:
The forecast has not changed, and scattered showers remain a possibility all weekend thanks to a stalled upper level system. Skies will range from partly to mostly cloudy, it will be chilly (highs in low 60s and upper 50s) with westerly winds 10 to 20 mph. Chilly air along with instability from the upper level storm and a new surface low off the east coast will allow for scattered showers through the weekend.
My take on these showers is that they will be hit or miss. I am hoping for more miss than hit. This kind of activity is very hard to forecast and pinpoint, actually it is impossible. I expect there to more dry time than wet but that doesn’t mean one of these showers doesn’t work its way over the track and cause possible delays.

Updated Thursday 3:30 PM EDT:
It appears a little more activity has developed out ahead of an approaching system. Most if any of this rain will be light and isolated. Looking at the radar as of 3pm EDT I wasn’t impress with the activity so they should be able to get practice completed. The only scenario is a light shower forming towards final practice that is at 6pm.
As for Friday – most of the activity looks to be during the morning or early afternoon. I will just mention a lingering shower or storm for qualifying but we look dry for Friday night’s race.

Updated Friday 6:00 AM EDT:
As a warm front lifts across the region today there will be the chance of a few showers and thunderstorms developing. Most of this activity will be isolated but a storm is still possible, especially this afternoon. Temperatures will be hot and it will be humid and this will continue into the weekend.
Saturday an upper level disturbance moves through Northern Kentucky and Southern Ohio. This will spark clusters of storms and showers. Biggest concern is that there will be a lot of moisture available for showers and storms so any storms that do form will have heavy soaking rains.

Updated Thursday 10:00 AM EDT:
This forecast, like Michigan’s, is a very challenging forecast. Both KY & MI will be in a very warm, humid and very moist airmass. All you need is something to spark thunderstorm development and you’ve got the possibility of a long weekend. When dealing with this kind of air mass it is very hard to but a time on when all this activity will spark. Right now the best I can say is that a lot of this activity will or could occur in the late afternoon and into the evening. Will continue to monitor and update.
