Definitely will be raining. Supposed to be a total washout all day, unfortunately.

The saying goes if you dont like the weather in New England just wait 5 minutes.

If you go by the weather man you will never race in New England.

Almost impossible to predict weather around the track.

I live 50 minutes from track and often have totally different weather at my house.

It can rain at the track and be sunny 10 minutes down the road and vice versus. Like a little micro climate around track.

Weather indicates scattered thunderstorms.

I would not worry about it until it says 90% or greater for rain.
