NASCAR Kansas Speedway Weather Forecast: Looks Like A Dry (But Windy) Weekend

The United States will be divided by a large area of high pressure to the east and an approaching trough to the west. These features will do battle over the western and central part of Kansas over the weekend, leaving the eastern counties, including Kansas Speedway, mostly dry but very windy.

I am going to leave showers out of the forecast for Sunday, but showers through western and eastern Kansas will still need to be watched as we go through the weekend. Temperatures will be warm, in the low- to mid-80s and it will be very windy. South winds 10 to 20 mph with gusts of 30 mph.
