Daytona 500 Forecast

We’ll started looking at the forecast for tomorrow down in Daytona and there’s some good news and bad news. The good news first; the heaviest rain looks like it could stay west of the track until later in the evening. The bad news; still looks like lots of light scattered showers around before the heavy stuff arrives and during the race. I would expect a few couple of red flags tomorrow afternoon.

Here’s a quick look at the 2 short range models the HRW and NAM 4 over Daytona tomorrow. This is the Futurecast or Future radar from the 2 models for at 3 time intervals Noon, 3pm and 5pm EST.
