Daytona 500 2012 Monday Night Weather Forecast: We’re Racing Under The Lights

Here were my thoughts as I concluded my Daytona 500 Sunday morning weather update:

If it does get postponed until Monday, showers are expected through Monday morning and early afternoon. The best chance would be later Monday evening. I don’t know what NASCAR will do if they are faced with a long rain delay later this afternoon. If they decide to wait as late as they can Sunday night, I have a feeling they will be waiting a long time.



Well, the radar cleared out earlier this, but scattered showers and a few thunderstorms have formed this afternoon and could linger into the early evening. Despite the developing rain showers this afternoon, we should be good to go at 7 p.m. with only a small chance of a delay.

MONDAY:
4 p.m. ET
Daytona 500 – Mostly cloudy, sct’d showers & storms – temp: 73
5 p.m. ET
Daytona 500 – Mostly cloudy, sct’d showers & storms – temp: 73
