Pocono Raceway Weather Forecast: Bulk of the Rain Saturday
As we continue to fine tune the forecast for this weekend at Pocono rain continues to be a threat but now the window looks more like Saturday into Sunday morning or midday. I still think timing of when the storms end isn’t cut in stone but most models agree rain is out by early afternoon if not sooner. This being said, if I had tickets for this Sunday’s race I’d still go, I’d just be prepared for a possible delay and make sure I have some rain gear... just in case.
So to answer some of the questions you may have: Is the race a wash and going to run on Monday? The likelihood is low, there easily could be delays if the rain doesn’t end in the morning and carries over into the early afternoon. Then that would be NASCAR decision on what they would do.
If you had to call it when will the rain end on Sunday? If I had to give a specific time I would say midday or noon. It could be earlier than that but I am being cautious, but I am starting get the feeling that they can and will get Sunday’s race in.
