Michigan International Speedway Weather Forecast: No Monday Race This Week

High pressure will give us a great day on Friday with comfortable temperatures and comfortable humidity. The one feature we are watching this weekend is a cold front that will work across the region on Saturday and into Saturday night.

There won’t be a lot of moisture for the front, so any storms or showers that may form will be spread out and be hit or miss. Most of the area will be dry, but remember: It only takes one isolated shower to cause a delay or cancel a practice.

As for Sunday, two out of three computer models push any remaining moisture off to the east with one model keeping pesky showers and storms around. I feel the other two models have a better handle on the solution so I am going with them but I am going to mention a slight chance of rain Sunday and mainly for Sunday morning.

Overall, this is a dry forecast. There should be more dry time than wet and because the storms are scattered to isolated Saturday afternoon, that is more chances to stay dry than to get wet.
