DAYTONA RACE WEEKEND HUB

Friday and Saturday will feature a typical late summer Florida pattern, with afternoon showers and thunderstorms developing as the sea breeze pushes inland. Friday will have a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon with a high near 90°, while Saturday will see a similar setup with a 40% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms and a high near 88°. Any storms that develop could produce frequent lightning, brief heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and localized ponding. Overall, neither day currently appears to be a washout, but afternoon thunderstorms could create temporary impacts to track activities. Fans and campers should remain weather aware throughout the weekend and be prepared to seek shelter if thunderstorms move into the Daytona area.
