Yesterday I said the following, “It’s Florida in July, it will be what you expect hot, humid and yes there are chances of showers and thunderstorms.” That holds true for Friday. It will remain hot and humid, no surprise for Florida, but there is enough moisture that late afternoon and evening there could be some storms. The good news is the threat of rain Saturday and Saturday look low to not there. I hope that holds true, it would be nice to have at least one of the Daytona races be rain free.

You can follow me on twitter at two locations @NASCAR_WXMAN and @BrianNeudorff, because of the holiday I have plans to be with the family and friends during the race so my updates may be limited but I will continue to check my iPhone while I am out and keep an eye on radars.

It’s Florida in July, it will be what you expect hot, humid and yes there are chances of showers and thunderstorms. Also the storm system that has been keeping the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and Northeast cool and damp will begin to exit but also push a weak cold front into the northern part of Florida. This could help spark showers and storms Thursday and Friday. As we go into the 4th of July weekend the boundary looks to weaken and wash out but could still spark isolated storms in the afternoon and evening.

I am like many of you. I HATE rain shortened race, but it is part of the strategy that is NASCAR. Then it’s not a matter of speed as it is as smarts and most importantly luck. Had the rain come earlier in New Hampshire Ryan Newman would have won. Had it held off Jeff Gordon would have won.

Here is to a wide open rain free and “Big One” free racing this 4th at Daytona. For those who are interested in the Indy Race at the Glen this weekend I will be doing a forecast for that later today.

(Fri Update) Loudon, NH Forecast, Lenox Industrial Tools 301 June 28th #NASCAR

A mix of sunshine & clouds, scattered showers & storms possible
Mainly cloudy with showers likely & possible t’storm
Race Day
Mainly cloudy w/ showers likely
High: 80°

High: 74°
Low: 63°
High: 70°
Low: 60°

Not much has changed since yesterday, the same players are there. A slow moving cold front that will bring a chance of shower and a possible thunderstorm later this afternoon for Loudon. Once the front passes through the weather turns unsettled with showers likely every day with weekend. Looks like clouds will dominate as an upper level storm system stalls over southern Quebec. This keeps the forecast tricky and wet. Look at the models there isn’t one that is shying away from the showers. Saturday looks like the wettest of the two days this weekend, but Sunday doesn’t look much drier.

I hope my forecast is wrong but right weather is going to play a role whether in qualifing or on the length of the race. Right now, Monday doesn’t look much better as there are still showers likely.

I am going to say this now, this forecast does not look good for racing. Going into the weekend an upper level storm system will stall & strengthen over southern Quebec. This will keep unsettled weather around for all of the weekend. Showers and storms are likely on Friday but even higher chance of rain are likely for Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures will also be on the cool side from the low to mid 70s.
