Weather Forecast
Forecast Summary:
(PPN = Precipitation)
Emphasis: Increasing confidence sees Friday to remain dry or largely so - possible arrival of some afternoon showers aside - before a thundery trough/cold front moving north brings threat of wet weather overnight into Saturday AM. The remainder of Saturday sees further thunderstorms (possibly severe, with torrential downpours in places), showers or prolonged spells of rain likely during the morning; still a threat of showers (some heavy) continuing into the FP3/quali windows. Currently good inter-model agreement for Sunday to be dry or largely so for the race, with a fairly low % chance of some showers forming later PM.
Friday: CONFIDENCE HIGH: Sunny spells and dry for much of the day, before cloud increases later PM, bringing showers/t-storms possibly by late afternoon but more especially into the evening and then overnight. Chance of PPN 25% until end of FP2. Hot; Max 29C. Breezier later. Wind NNW-NNE
Saturday: CONFIDENCE MODERATE-HIGH (PPN totals subject to some doubt): Cloudy. Outbreaks of rain or showers/t-storms arriving overnight and continuing into the morning, heavy at times, some severe t-storms possible. A continued periodic threat of some further heavy showers / spells of rain appearing throughout the afternoon, yielding some very wet conditions on track. Chance of PPN 90%. Cooler. Max 21C. Wind light-moderate, variable; mostly S.
Sunday: CONFIDENCE HIGH: Perhaps more widespread early cloud, but this breaking to offer sunny spells for remainder of the day. Some deeper convective cloud build-up is likely later into the afternoon with a few (mostly light) showers possible, but the balance currently firmly favours dry conditions. Chance of PPN 25%. Max 23C. Wind light-moderate, SE-ESE.
