Saturday: As we go through the day, we will see a mix of sun and clouds, and it will be warmer, with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
Rain chances: We have the threat for more scattered showers, possibly accompanied by a rumble of thunder in the afternoon. Not everyone will see rain, but showers are possible Saturday afternoon close to the race tracks. Any rain will wind down Saturday night, creating better conditions for the All Star Race.
We will get a period of dry weather today for the races, but more scattered showers arrive later this afternoon. pic.twitter.com/FkBysR53fB
