FORECAST UPDATE Friday 10 PM EDT:
The forecast is looking dry this weekend. The best shot for any rain would develop late Saturday afternoon into the evening with showers and a few thunderstorms. The good news the activity should be over before morning on Sunday. The other big weather story will be how hot it will be. Temperatures could reach 90 by the afternoon. If you are going to the Indianapolis 500 stay hydrated with water and stay cool.

FORECAST UPDATE Thursday 12 PM EDT:
If you have followed the Indianapolis 500 for any length of time then you know that the weather during the month of May can be just as wild, if not more so, than the action on the track. We experienced that with the showers and storms last weekend during pole day and bump day. Although there is rain in the forecast today and again late on Saturday, overall we have a good forecast for Carb day on Friday with a mixture of sunshine and clouds and for Sunday’s Indianapolis 500.
I do think Sunday will be mainly dry, very warm as high temperatures reach the upper 80s, but there is enough indication from some of the computer forecast models that an isolated shower or storm could pop up. At this current time, I am not too concerned about rain for the 95th running of the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing”

Are Showers a Speed Bump to 1100 miles of Racing? – Indianapolis 500 & Coke 600 Forecasts

Forecast for the 94th Running of the “Greatest Spectacle” in Racing Indianapolis 500:
It will be a hot and humid Indiana day. Most of the race is dry and this is a mainly dry forecast. The only thing that will need to be watched will be the possible development of an isolated shower or storm across southern and central Indiana. The heat, moisture and instability are there but lack a trigger to fire these storms. I expect if any activity will fire it will after 3pm. Any shower or storm will be short lived but slow. Just because we mention a shower or storm doesn’t mean it will hit the track. What I think is there will be some firing up and all though the likelihood of a storm hitting the track is low it is possible.

Forecast for the Coca-Cola 600:
It is going to be a hot and humid North Carolina day. Stay cool, drink lots of fluids and non alcoholic beverages, wear sunscreen because the UV index will be “Very High” or 9 out of 15. Through the morning there have been scattered showers and storms into southern South Carolina south of US 26. We could see some isolated storms or showers later this afternoon into the evening. It is similar to Indy with the lack of a trigger for these storms and although the risk is low it is still there but I really feel confident that both races will get through with little to NO IMPACT from rain. I just feel that there is a high enough risk to mention an isolated shower or storm.

Forecast for the 94th Running of the “Greatest Spectacle” in Racing Indianapolis 500:
It will be hot and humid in Indianapolis today, no problems with the start of the race the only thing we will be watching is the possibility of isolated showers and storms dotting the Central Indiana landscape after 3pm this afternoon. They will be few and far between with more miss than hit but it is possible that one of those lone showers or storms forms near or over the track during the race but the odds of getting 500 miles in is very good. Just be hydrated and drink lots of water if you are going to be out at the track this afternoon.

Forecast for the Coca-Cola 600:
Finally no threat of rain, the green flag is scheduled to wave sometime after 6pm but before that it will be another hot and humid North Carolina day. Stay cool, drink lots of fluids and non alcoholic beverages, wear sunscreen because the UV index will be “Very High” or 9 out of 15. Temperatures at the start of the race should be in the mid to upper 80s. By the checkered flag near 80 or the upper 70s but remaining very muggy with a few more clouds.
11am Update: I am just going to mention that an isolated shower/storm could form later in the evening around the track. Very similar to yesterday but as we saw no rain impacted the Nationwide Race. I think we are good it is hot and humid and those factors can lead to a few showers and storms (isolated at best)

FORECAST DISCUSSION Saturday 11:00 am EDT:
This is a mostly dry forecast for Sunday. There will be moisture creeping back into Central Indiana during the afternoon on Sunday. There is a small risk and threat for an isolated storm or two to form near or around the track later in the afternoon, probably from 3pm on. This will need to be monitored but I think the odds of getting all 500 miles in look very good. Will monitor it during the afternoon tomorrow.

FORECAST DISCUSSION Friday 8:00 am EDT:
I am sticking to my guns and keeping this forecast through today’s Carb Day until the end of the 94th running of the “Greatest Spectacle” in racing dry. I have seen a few forecast for Indianapolis that are calling for some isolated to scattered showers late in the afternoon on Sunday. At this point I still feel like rain is not a threat for the race and they will get all 500 miles in. It will be warm so if you’re going to the track on Sunday bring lots of water and have the sunscreen

FORECAST DISCUSSION Thursday 7:00 am EDT:
A cold front will slide through the state of Indiana, this will aid in producing showers and possible thunderstorms through the day. Some of the storms could produce some very heavy rain. Once this front passes drier and cooler air will arrive. For Carb Day on Friday it will be very nice out at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The Indianapolis 500 Festival Parade also looks to have some nice weather but warmer as temperatures warm into the mid 80s.
Sunday for the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500 we will have nice weather, clouds and sunshine and it will also be warm. I feel pretty good that rain will not cause any problems this Sunday but one of the computer models I looked at wanted to spark a few isolated showers or storms into the afternoon. I will watch that as we get into the weekend and you can expect updates here.

FORECAST DISCUSSION Wednesday 7:00 am EDT:
There’s just a chance of a few scattered showers this afternoon and more showers as a weak front moves through Indiana on Thursday. This system will spark a few showers or thunderstorms. Once this system passes high pressure will quickly build in and skies will be sunny and it will be cooler and less humid. Looks like great weather for all the pre-race and race day activities this weekend

FORECAST DISCUSSION Tuesday 10:00 am EDT:
Only made a few tweaks to the forecast. Added showers to Wednesday but just like Thursday these showers will be isolated to maybe scattered. Temperatures will also remain warm Wednesday and Thursday.
A cold front sweeps through Thursday and in its wake will be cool and comfortable weather for Carb Day, the Parade and the Indy 500. Should be a nice weekend for 500 miles of racing.
