I checked this morning, and weather.com has lowered it to 40%, and weatherunderground.com has lowered to 30%. Hopefully this is a good sign. I'm not sure if they use the GFS or whatever other technical jargon you were talking about. You should consider meteorology as a side job.

But no way it gets rained out, though. Too much ESPN money involved at this point. They'll spend $500K on experimental rain cloud seeding on Friday night before they let the money they spent on the Champ Car tv contract last year go to complete waste. That's a fact, Jack.

The rain that does occur will likely be light and patchy (non-convective), so its going to be hit and miss. Precipitation chances should also decrease slightly after nightfall, so if the race gets started, it has a good chance of running the full distance. In case of a delay, Sunday looks a little better, but a slight chance of showers will still exist. P.S. I'm the meteorologist...Will is the atmospheric scientist ;) I agree with those precipitation chances.
