FORECAST UPDATE Thursday 4 AM MDT:
The “Tricky Triangle” features another tricky forecast. As of right now it doesn’t look good as a storm system will be crossing central Pennsylvania Saturday into Sunday. First it will lift a warm front through followed by a cold front on Sunday night. The time in between will be unsettled with showers and storms, some potentially strong. This forecast will need to be monitored. Along with the threat of storms Saturday and Sunday it will turn hot and humid on Sunday as well.
As for Iowa Speedway, the central plains will finally get a break from all the heat and steam this weekend. There could be an isolated shower or storm but in my professional opinion not enough of a concern for Nationwide activities.
