I agree with Mike....the race will get in.

Nascar race here this week end also. The latest forecast calls for highs in the 60's Saturday and Sunday. (much cooler than the 80's we have had for the past couple of weeks)

Any rain on Friday (qualifying day) will come after 5 PM. Saturday could be a wash out, but Sunday afternoon looks OK and should get everything in.

Forecast:
The "main event" arrives on Friday, with rain, even a few thunderstorms possible in the Valley as early as 5 or 6pm. However, I think the prime time for rain will be during the overnight hours into Saturday morning.

I am still looking at the possibility of up to 1" of rain out of this storm for Phoenix, which would end our rain-free streak in a BIG way!

Snow will fall in the mountains, with the snow level fairly high...starting at 8,000' lowering only to 6,500' at the lowest.

Unfortunately, the rain will fall as the Valley plays host to a large outdoor event: NASCAR. Events on Saturday could be delayed/postponed/canceled because of the rain, but the afternoon looks a little better than the morning. Then on Sunday for the big race, I see some lingering pop-up type showers that could impact afternoon activities at the track.

This is also the first weekend of Cactus League Spring Training games! Ugh.

With the clouds and rain this weekend come cooler temperatures. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will stay in the 60s.
