Weather watch at Pocono Raceway: what conditions should fans expect race weekend?
Weather was the biggest story related to race weekend at Pocono Raceway in 2024, when a thunderstorm caused a parking and traffic nightmare for fans and spectators. Track president Ben May addressed the issues with traffic last year and has taken action to avoid that outcome as much as possible, but ultimately, everyone at the Tricky Triangle is at the mercy of Mother Nature. Advertisement Now that race weekend it quickly approaching, here's what attendees can prepare for regarding weather. What are the projected weather conditions for Pocono Raceway? According to the Weather Channel, there is a minimal chance of rain all three days ― 18% on Friday, 12% on Saturday and 20% on Sunday. Winds are also projected to be around 10 MPH all weekend. It's expected to rain significantly Monday through Thursday, notably a 50% chance on Thursday, but it should subside after that. Sunday's Cup Series race, which is what most fans are preparing for, is projected to be partly cloudy with a high of 82 degrees and a low of 65 degrees. Advertisement Friday's CRAFTSMAN Truck Series and Saturday's Xfinity Series have similar weather projections: highs of low 80s and high 70s, and lows of mid 60s and high 50s. This story will be updated if there are significant weather changes. What happened last year at Pocono Raceway? During race weekend last year, a severe thunderstorm before the Cup Series race forced the parking staff to be pulled off of the roads. During that time, attendees tried to park themselves, which created a massive traffic jam that cause many people to miss significant parts of the race. Track CEO Nick Igdalsky talked about the effects the storm had on the event, and ensured action would be taken to address the issue.
