2016 NASCAR at Texas Motor Speedway weather forecast: Mostly dry but a chance of rain

Looks like a mostly dry weekend for NASCAR at Texas Motor Speedway but Mother Nature may try to bring in a chance of rain for Saturday night

It is a mostly dry weather forecast across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex Thursday through Saturday night. While there are a few fronts that work across the region the next few days, all of these are expected to be dry.

While we do expect mostly dry weather, there is only a slight chance of a shower Saturday night for the Duck Commander 500 Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway. It doesn’t appear to be much of a threat but it’s high enough to at least mention the chance. At this point the odds of racing on Saturday night for the Sprint Cup race is in the 90th percentile.
