All Activity

Heck yeah, I got nearly .3” already here at home. Let’s see what the main line can deliver this evening. Hoping some others cash in.

Deep summer locking in early

Oh yeah

Captain obvious strikes again! LOL.

Great weather at the track. Connor Daly at 228 without boost except for that 25mpn win down the front stretch! They're hitting nearly 240 down the front stretch today with no boost!! Friday will be fun. First truly hot day with full boost. Spots of light rain may come through so should break up the usual monotony of single car qualification practice that usually happens on Fast Friday. What speeds could we see Friday with boost?!!?!! Nothing like it. Yesterday had almost 2 hours with more than 20 cars on the track. That's almost a race for 25 bucks! Lots of cars out here today too. The wind is toying with them. 2 more days before the crowds ruin it. Practice is where it's at. If you've never been, practice is a lot more fun than the race anymore IMHO. No crowds. Been parking in the same guys yard thats right on the front stretch fence 15 years. Theres only about 6 or 7 homes left that are that close. 20 bucks. 50 for me for the race if I go. Its a 2 minute walk to the gate. Found out this morning the blackout will be lifted! The last couple of years have been terrible crowd wise during qualifications and the race. A completely different crowd. Rude, unappreciative, completely uninformed about the Indy 500 and the track. Rant off! Practice for me. 29 races under my belt. I've been to everyone of the 4 win club races. Gonna wait for the right year for number 30, which will probably be my last. Maybe next year and hopefully Helio will be back. I'll be his good luck charm for number 5 lol. I just can't this year health wise. It's also just not as fun anymore. I have the experience to know. Was a helluva lot more fun back in the 70's and 80's before stuff got all, well, "cleaned up" lol. Man I miss the turn 3 infield and the North 40!! I'll try and post some pics but my camera sux. Done eating, back to the 1st turn wall watching the snake come at me at 235-240 for the rest of practice!! Homeboy Conner Daly at the top of the speed charts! Go Conner!! Out!!!

.09" in the last hour.......................... What a bonus!!

Yeah beyond Friday, any substantial or sustained cool wx is long long gone

Rain actually hitting the ground. Radar more active to the SW.

Damn it. We need a bottom to figure out whats going to be correct

There is no cool. None

Still pretty gusty here

We're moving into a regime where average temperatures and at times quite above average will win out. Any periods of below average will be the product of fronts moving through...this could net 3-4 days of below average temps because it may take a bit to rebuild the greater warmth but the cycle we've been in is coming to an end.

Just like the may 05 disaster wheel o noreasters. Epic bust

If we have to endure 3 awful May days, I wish it would RAIN - the 20 months 9/24 thru 4/26 have racked up a deficit of 21.2". Not mid-1960s but troubling. Last week's 3-day soaking rain dropped a modest 0.62"; 2" would be nice.

Huge sample

. 02

Looks more like temporary mild downs into the 60's/70s at times in the longer range - but it seems like the cold regime is pretty much wiped out after Friday

It appears some potent little cells have gone right over my house the last couple of hours. I'll be curious to see what I have in the gauge when I get home from Harrisburg. Might have already surpassed my modest expectations for today ha.

Obs at IAD have light rain, but here at Merrifield it's just cloudy with maybe three raindrops so far.

Looks like more summer-like weather should return soon. So we got that going for us.

A few days then we cool

Wind has died down to a more reasonable level, short lived but intense wind event.

Hang in there...normal transitioning to WAY above normal temps are coming soon. My forecast high for Tuesday is 94. That will be nearly 20 degrees above normal.

This weather sucks. Cold and drizzly and overcast in the middle of May. Even for Ohio it seems a little excessive.
