RACE WEEKEND WEATHER DISCUSSION
Area Forecast
Best chance for strong to severe storms will come Friday afternoon into the evening.
An active weather pattern will remain in place through much of the week across the Kansas City area, bringing multiple chances for showers and storms. Conditions begin to settle down by Saturday and Sunday, with a noticeable cooldown and much better weather overall for fans and racing. High temperatures will drop from the 80s during the week into the 60s for the weekend.
Friday’s Arca Menards Series at Kansas Speedway could be dealing with storms, especially during the afternoon and evening window. The O’Reilly Auto Parts Series practice and qualifying sessions are also in that same timeframe and could be impacted by developing storms.
As of Monday, Saturday and Sunday track activities are looking good. The ARCA MENARDS SERIES and O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race on Saturday and the Nascar Cup Series race on Sunday all look to be in good shape, but we’ll continue to monitor trends through the week.
