Here we go again, always seems to be possible weather issues this time of year. Back up to 80% on Friday and still 40 on Saturday

Won't be a complete washout if it does rain. It's just going to be very hot and humid so they almost always call for storms when it's this humid and hot.

As usual it has already changed,50/50. Typical

It's impossible to predict weather so there's no sense in looking at any forecasts.

Someone jinxed us on here by saying the weather looked excellent last week. I dont remember who it was though.

The only reason there's weather forecasts is to get viewers on news channels and clicks on weather websites. It's all about money. People can just as easily create their own weather forecasts by looking at the radar. The radar is the only thing that doesn't lie.

I think the weather deal has became a bigger racket (sp?)... I mean today they are showing a high of 24% chance of rain. But there icon for weather indicator is rain. It didn't used to be like this... but rain is a bigger draw than sun because people click trying to figure when it's going to rain and for how long... there's no rain...
Or just an incidental chance.

So true. One station in my town had a promo 2 days ago with their weatheman asking when the next chances of rain are, watch at 11. No rain was predicted for another 3 days. Instead of focusing on the great weather we've been having, they had to play up something several days away. All about the $$$.

Yep I look at the radar the day of a race and watch it periodically through the day. Thats why ive been vocal about Promoters cancelling 3-4 days early because of a forcast, 80% of the time it doesnt rain that day or if it does very little. And even if it says 80% percent chance of rain doesnt mean all day rain, that could be a 3 minute pop up storm...
