Bristol Motor Speedway Weather Forecast: Rain Could Make an Ugly Appearance

I mentioned yesterday that one of the models started to show rain on Sunday. It was the first time I had seen that all week so I held off on putting them in the forecast. The last few runs of two models are showing the threat of rain Saturday and Sunday. Saturday’s rain looks less likely maybe isolated but Sunday has a good chance from the afternoon into the evening.

I know the next question I will get from fans will be, so will they or won’t they race on Sunday. Too early to tell. I think the rain is scattered and mostly there could be windows or even the rain being less. I have seen that the mountains around the track can kill showers as they get close especially lighter ones.
