NASCAR first and biggest race of the season, the Daytona 500, is still over a week away but NASCAR is back at the Daytona International Speedway with the Budweiser Shootout this Saturday. Of course with NASCAR back in town and the Southeastern US from Georgia to Florida experiencing drought that only means NASCAR has brought rain with it. Before you get worried that rain will wash out all activities this week and this weekend keep it in mind these are low chances and more hit or miss type showers.

Boundary will stall across the Panhandle and northern Floriday on Friday. Along this boundary a few disturbances will move through and could spark a shower or two Friday into Friday night. On Saturday, a storm system will ride along this boundary and then move to the north-northeast into southern and central Georgia. Timing and location of this storm Saturday night will be key to when rain arrives Saturday night. It will be warm and noticably humid Friday into Saturday and most of  the time is expected to be dry. As the storm moves and passes to the north a weak cold front will slide through Saturday night. Right now, it appears that the front slides through late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. If that timing holds then that is good new for the Shootout.

 

Bottomline: This is NOT anykind of washout, but chances of rain Friday and Saturday are there but like I mention above it is hit or miss with lots of dry time during the day.
