Summary: Overnight Thursday, a cold front is forecasted to move through the area, bringing some showers & thunderstorms. On Friday, an approaching upper-level trough should lead to some destabilization of the atmosphere, along with forming a weak surface low-pressure system over Wisconsin. This will lead to scattered showers & thunderstorms throughout the day. On Saturday, while the upper-level trough will have moved off to the East, the surface low-pressure system will still be over Lake Erie, providing lift for some showers & thunderstorms throughout the day. On Sunday, a weak upper-level shortwave trough is forecasted to move over the region. This could provide enough destabilization for an isolated shower. We will continue to monitor throughout the week.

Michigan International Speedway (MIS) is a 2.000 mi (3.219 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located off U.S. Highway 12 on more than 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) approximately four-mile (6.4 km) south of the village of Brooklyn, in the scenic Irish Hills area of southeastern Michigan. The track is 70-mile (110 km) west of the center of Detroit, 40-mile (64 km) from Ann Arbor and 60 miles (97 km) south and northwest of Lansing and Toledo, Ohio respectively. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is sometimes known as a sister track to Texas World Speedway, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by NASCAR. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports’ premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards). Michigan is the fastest track in NASCAR due to its wide, sweeping corners, long straightaways, and lack of a restrictor plate requirement; typical qualifying speeds are in excess of 200 mph (320 km/h) and corner entry speeds are anywhere from 215 to 220 mph (346 to 354 km/h) after the 2012 repaving of the track.
