Bowling Green weather
Was planning on going to Bowling Green this weekend but have been watching the weather forecast and it looks iffy.
Anyone with a more local forecast and feel for the local weather have any insight. Just hate to go 600 miles to sit in the motorhome and watch it rain, Thankyou |

Re: Bowling Green weather
I'm seeing just 20%-40% chance Friday thru Sunday on weather.com. Most importantly, it's showing temps in the 80's rather than the usual upper 90's.

Re: Bowling Green weather
Those percentage numbers are high.
They have been for weeks. I'm 100 miles north east of BG and have been seeing 20-40 % almost everyday for weeks in the forecast. We got our first sizeable amount of rain in weeks last night. Maxie Fury 64....go for it. If it rains it's spotty and they can dry the track fast Last edited by ALMACK; 08-21-2019 at 09:30 AM. |

Re: Bowling Green weather
Beautiful sunny day here in Bowling Green as racers are anxiously waiting for the gates to open. Don Kennedy is the first trailer in line.

Re: Bowling Green weather
I live just 60 miles South of BG in TN. 20 - 40% chance of rain is the norm down here. Doesn't necessarily mean it's going to rain. And if it does, it usually doesn't rain very long.
If you decide to make the tow, the odds of the event being a 'loss' are slim to none. It's 93 feels like 101 at the track as of 2:30 Wednesday. This is usually the norm for this event. But the forecast shows highs of mid to upper 80s which means the heat index will be mid to upper 90s. This is actually a lot better then usual. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a small shower each day. But it usually passes quickly and track drying begins. And the sun only helps. And how about the forecast weather for Indy? Yeeoyza!!!! |

Re: Bowling Green weather
Well, the T and T is halfway completed and the weather is 91 degrees,51 % humid , and 29.45 barometer. Adjusted altitude in the 3200 feet area....The track here figured out a great way to decrease the number of cars testing today, just raise the fee from 50 bucks to 85 ...Would like to personally welcome Lance and Hannah Line to Bowling Green, Ky....Many racers are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Larry and Patsy Hill , and the number one GM fan Todd and Autumn....more to come......

Re: Bowling Green weather
We experienced some rain during the early morning hours but by 7 am it was all gone as the skies began to clear. The sun is peeking out now as we all look forward to a high temperature of 81 degrees. Rigs were filing in all night long as a result of Beech Bends 24 hour gate. The place is packed. Super street starts at 9 am and is then followed by Stock. I would like to say Thank You to Marvin Benoit of Quick Fuel who sponsored a cookout at this race for numerous years. It was much appreciated and we sure missed the great food, fellowship, and bench racing this year....THANKS MARVIN !!!!!!

Re: Bowling Green weather
Sorry guys, but we aren't going to make it to Bowling Green! Still putting the final touches on Dumbo! If the rain stays away, we are going to try to test tomorrow and head on to Indy! Looking forward to finally seeing all our friends again!!
