FORECAST DISCUSSION Update Friday 3:30 PM EDT:

You couldn’t ask for better weather today or Saturday. Lots of sunshine very comfortable temperatures with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Our focus is not Friday or Saturday but for Sunday. I guess you just can’t have a Pocono race without the threat of a little rain, and that is what we have on Sunday.

A weak system will move out of the lower Great Lakes and Ohio Valley Saturday night into Pennsylvania on Sunday. Clouds will increase and so will the threat for showers and thunderstorms for Sunday afternoon and evening. The probability of rain continues to increase as we get closer to Sunday, that’s never a good sign. Unlike the spring race when we were tracking a cold front that had a narrow line of storms this may be more wide spread with scattered and broken areas of showers. To be honest with you, it will rain at some point on Sunday, and very likely could get a shower at the track before, during or after the race. Timing is a real big issue but most indications continue to show afternoon evening the best time for showers and possible storms. Will continue to monitor and update.

If I had tickets to this weekends race I’d still go, even knowing what I know now that there’s a risk of rain and it could delay, shorten and in the worst case scenario, which seems to be the least likely at this point, postpone the race.
