NASCAR Weather Forecast Discussion
From Thursday into Saturday, forecast guidance is showing weak upper-level ridging over Texas. This, along with a high-pressure system located over the Gulf Coast, should lead to mostly clear skies throughout that time frame.
On Sunday, guidance is showing a strong Upper-level shortwave trough moving through the Southwest US into the Southern Plains. This shortwave is forecasted to form a surface low-pressure system over Northern Texas on Sunday. Now, its too far out to know if this will have much of an effect on the Race. There could be mostly clear skies, an isolated shower, or a strong thunderstorm. With this setup, there is a possibility of severe weather, with hail being the main threat, but again it is too far out currently to make any predictions with certainty. The setup will change as we get closer to race day.
We will continue to update the forecast throughout the week!

More about Circuit of the Americas
Circuit of the Americas (COTA) is a Grade 1 FIA-specification 3.426-mile (5.514 km) motor racing track and facilities located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Austin, Texas, in the United States. The facility is home to the Formula One United States Grand Prix, NASCAR's Texas Grand Prix, and the Motorcycle Grand Prix of the Americas, a round in MotoGP. It previously hosted the Australian V8 Supercars, the Americas Rallycross Championship, the American Le Mans Series, the Rolex Sports Car Series, the FIA World Endurance Championship, the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the IndyCar Classic.
The circuit and Grand Prix were first proposed in the middle of 2010. The circuit was the first in the United States to be purpose-built for Formula One. The layout was conceived by promoter Tavo Hellmund and 1993 Motorcycle World Champion Kevin Schwantz with the assistance of German architect and circuit designer Hermann Tilke, who has also designed the Sepang, Shanghai, Yas Marina, Istanbul, Bahrain, Yeongam, and Buddh circuits, as well as the reprofiling of the Hockenheimring and Fuji Speedway.
