We are expecting a mainly dry day… there is a chance of a shower or thunderstorm anytime after the noon hour, after the cars hit the track.  Scattered showers and storms become more likely the later we head into this afternoon and tonight.

If you have outdoor plans Monday, make sure to check the radar before you head out.  Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely off and on throughout the day.

By Tuesday we dry out, and by Wednesday hot and humid weather is back with temps in the mid to upper 80s through Friday.
