The Indianapolis 500 weather forecast currently suggests the 108th running of the event will be held on Monday or Tuesday. According to Weather.com, the weather forecast at Indianapolis Motor Speedway calls for an 82% chance of thunderstorms during the day on Sunday, with that increasing to 93% in the evening and night.
With no lights in Indianapolis, this creates a very, very bad situation as of Thursday, May 23. If the weather forecast doesn’t change, there may not be a window for the Indianapolis 500 to be run on Sunday. Therefore, the focus could be shifted toward Monday. The forecast looks much better, with a 47% chance of showers in the morning becoming less numerous later in the day.
Yet, without lights at the speedway, the NTT IndyCar Series could face the possibility of running the event on Tuesday, which has no rain in the forecast. Kyle Larson is supposed to attempt “The Double” on Sunday, but he may be forced to split the 1,100 miles of racing into two days. Hopefully, the forecast will improve, but time is running out.
