Rain looks like could threaten Budweiser Shootout practices Friday evening at Daytona International Speedway. A front will push south during the day Friday and then stall across the Northern Pennisula of Florida. This will allow for showers and scattered thunderstorms to form during the afternoon and evening. The likelihood of seeing rain during this time near or around the track is 50 to 60 percent. Unfortunately I can not say whether or not practice will get canceled and I hope it doesn’t but the possibility of rain should be factored in if you are planning to attend practice on Friday evening.

For Saturday’s Budweiser Shootout, the good news is the threat of rain for Daytona International Speedway becomes less and less as we go through the day into the evening. The threat becomes more scattered to isolated as a storm system passes to the north lifting the stalled boundary that will trigger rain on Friday. Although there is a slight chance of a shower on Saturday it is less likely than Friday. If it were my call to go to the Shootout on Saturday based on this forecast I would go.
