2014 Indy 500 Weather forecast: Lots of sunshine for the weekend

How does the weather look for the 98th running of the Greatest Spectacle in racing? Check out the weather forecast for all the activities at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indianapolis 500.

Carb Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the last chance for drivers to get their cars ready for the Indianapolis 500, and you couldn’t ask for better weather. High pressure will build in over the state and the region for the end of the week and the weekend. This will bring picture perfect weather to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Temperatures today will be in the low to mid 70s with plenty of sunshine for the whole day. Saturday will be a little warmer as temperatures in the afternoon reach the upper 70s to near 80 and by race day on Sunday we will see more of the same. Sunday’s weather forecast for the 98th running of the Indianapolis 500 will be mostly sunny and pleasantly warm with highs in the low 80s.
