I want to applaud the
#NASCAR
media - They are doing their job. Being patient and waiting.Their silence is because THEY DON'T HAVE NEWS. Like many fans I am waiting but we have to understand the media doing all they can to get info but to be respectful as well.
I’m not feeling good after seeing

I’ve been doing
#NASCAR
weather for almost 15 yrs. I do this as a fan so I can help other fans. I don’t make any $$ off this. You may not like my forecast & trust me I don’t like rain forecasts but there’s a reason I’ve become a trusted source these 15-ish years
BTW - I make NO $$$ off of doing
#NASCAR
weather anymore - this is 100% a hobby & on own time - there is no upside for forecasting rain or promoting bad
#NASCAR
weather (except a lot of screenshots of weather apps and told I’m wrong or I suck) just want fans informed
Now this is a weekend
@RaceWeather
and I like - Sunshine near 80 NO RAIN!!!!!!!! Odds of Racing 100% No Delays from the weather... Looks good Monday too.
#NASCAR
@BMSupdates
I will be honest with all my followers - This week I transition from being a TV Meteorologist to a National Weather Service Meteorologist - I am hoping once I make the transition I can still keep this
#NASCAR
Weather account.
I want to apologize for losing my cool with a troll today - I want to thank all of you new and old followers and supporters - I thought we had a chance today but I knew it was challenging forecast - thank you for being there through all the right forecasts and the wrong ones
Excited to announce that I am making a career change. Still a meteorologist but no longer going to be on TV. Late summer I will be going from TV meteorologist
@KMVTNews
to meteorologist
@NWSLouisville
. Headed back to the Midwest & plan on living in my home state of Indiana
I never understand why people send me screen grabs of a weather app - it’s like telling your Doctor WebMD Say you have this diagnosis after they gave you their professional assessment
It finally happened - meeting of the weather minds - and no rain - after 12 years of knowing each other 10 years of working together on
#NASCAR
weather
@RaceWeather
finally met in person in Frankfort KY not far from
@KySpeedway
If you're so inclined - I could use some uplifting prayers. Need some guidance some peace need to be open to what God has planned for my family and I and need the vision and faith to be receptive to his will. Thank you Feel like I am in a season of transition.
#GodisGood
SO what about Monday? While I don't like/want to go there - it's officially on the table... Another day of sct'd storms/rain very warm with some storms strong/severe. Earlier start time of 11 or midday would be better than evening.

Been waiting to make this announcement
@mom2twinsplus1
and I are moving back to the Midwest and Indiana. Southern Indiana. I will be a meteorologist for the US National Weather Service Louisville Kentucky. We are so excited. It's bittersweet to be leaving TV after 18 years b…
I do a lot of my
#NASCAR
weather late at night - usually the free time I have to do it. I am going on my like 11th season of doing this - I want to reconnect to my fellow fans and
#NASCAR
nation. Here's to 2019
I appreciate all my new & esp. long time followers. I’m just like you, a
#NASCAR
fan who happens to be a meteorologist. I do this for all of us fans. This season, if you follow only to troll & be a pain in my ass. That’s your choice but I also have a choice to block. Thank you.
I am guessing it's about time to start dusting off the ol keyboard and preparing for the 2019
#NASCAR
season. I'm back if y'all will have me. ;) Looking forward to another season with

Working with
@RaceWeather
- highest chc. showers/T’Storms between 2p-6p w/ mostly sct’d precip. w/ likely breaks. Odds of racing 75% DON’T think a wash out but poss. delays &. possibly finishing up in the evening as rain chances greatly diminish after 6pm EST
#NASCAR
Radar 5:38 pm EST - next rain 30-45 min out - spoke with
@RaceWeather
our thoughts:
Rain ends 8-9 pm (hoping earlier)
Track drying - est. poss restart between 10-11 pm... That’s our thoughts on tonight - it just depends on what
#NASCAR
’s decision is...
Soon
@RaceWeather
will have the next radar/weather update for
@Daytona
- If we need MON - warm near 80 with scattered showers/storms especially towards late afternoon/evening. Odds of racing 65-70% - Always challenging and never fun forecast
Happy to post this
#RadarUpdate
311p ET - As drying cont. to make progress rain cont. to dim & end over
@Daytona
. Overall radar picture looks good & so does satellite. As soon as they get it dry we likely will finish this thing
#NASCAR
@RaceWeather
Has anyone checked on the "Call it"
#NASCAR
fans? They can't be happy about track drying, covers coming off cars and a 410 start time... Just want to make sure they are ok...
655 pm ET radar update - talked w/
@raceweather
and more rain - about 15/20 min out then it could rain for 75-90 min (maybe more) that would end it close to 9 pm - then factor drying time - just sharing what we are seeing & keeping you updated
#NASCAR
FYI
#NASCAR
weather is a team effort between
@RaceWeather
& I - In the last 5 seasons our lives/jobs/availability has changed but our commitment to keep all of you the most informed hasn't. We're just 2

fans who happen to be meteorologist looking out for other fans. Thx!
While I get complaints & trolls the silent majority of you are AWESOME -
@RaceWeather
& I truly appreciate your support and so many of you have been with us a long time.
#THANKYOU
. Like you we are fans of
#NASCAR
& we do these forecasts for YOU the fans
Listen I don’t make any calls - I’m a meteorologist who just tweets weather info for
#NASCAR
fans - telling me they have lights does nothing - tweet
@nascar
your opinions - I know
@DISupdates
has lights and it didn’t do much to help last night.
Update on
#Indy500
weather - Thinking there could be a large enough break where they could race. Warm front will lift a complex of heavy rain/storms Sunday morning through Indy.. Challenge is when would the rain end? (cont)
I give
@bobpockrass
a hard time (IU grad) but seriously one of the best in the

biz and appreciate his support the last 11 seasons - always great fan oriented info

With good progress on drying and rain weakening/dissipating we are looking good here
@RaceWeather
& I agree this is very likely the end of the rain.

I will work on an
@LVMotorSpeedway
forecast later it’s been a long 24 hrs as one Ryan left the hospital my son Ryan had to be admitted for appendicitis & appendectomy last night & today. All is good and surgery was good now his recovery starts - thank you for the patience
at first glance for
@CLTMotorSpdwy
- it is very possible this system clears out of

by 8pm this evening... Maybe looking at more of a DELAY rather than a wash. Like Odds of RACING at around 75%

(fixed typo) Good morning - looks like we will see clouds and sun but there could be an isolated chance of a shower or two later this afternoon - it is NOT as widespread as yesterday for

Wow
@NASCARonNBC
going over to NBCSN in Overtime
@TalladegaSuperS
- PLEASE do not call your local NBC station to complain... They had NOTHING to do with the decision. (I speak from experience)
There are times I don't mind being wrong w/ a
#NASCAR
weather forecast - that's when I get to remove rain from a race forecast. Looking dry today - SUN.. Slightest of slt chc. later today/tonight but not worried. 80s today then 70s SAT/SUN with sun...

Now attention turns to tomorrow &
#DAYTONA500
Rain likely all day. While we will see it break around 6-7p ET professionally, I think at best we get lingering drizzle & sct’d light rain in the evening. I feel like OOR are like they were today (10%)

w/
@raceweather
Listen I hate being the messenger of bad news - I am sorry there is rain in the forecast for
@TalladegaSuperS
- Couple things - Not calling it a wash, We've raced more with worst forecast. Just have to monitor the radar for iso/sct'd activity today. It's not all bad
Wow just learning about
@DaleJr
& his plane crash - blessings that all survived and are ok - story via
@espn
Earnhardt Jr., wife OK after Tenn. plane crash
While it is exciting to have so many
#NASCAR
races in such a short span - it's also VERY challenging to find the time to do all these forecast especially as "active" it has been the last week & half. Thanks for your patience. This is now 100% hobby/volunteer on my part...
Trying to forecast when & where scattered storms rain in Florida will form or hit in July is like trying to accurately predict when every kernel of corn will pop
The lightning strike is not new in sports - it has been in the NCAA and NFL and I’m glad that NASCAR is doing this - yes frustrating as a fan but safety first
Good morning - the bulk of the rain is moving through Alabama this morning - with rain chc diminishing in the afternoon and more sct’d - could have a window to go racing this afternoon if not longer - will monitor with
@RaceWeather
#NASCAR
@TALLADEGA
Since I was on my soapbox earlier I do want to say - it's actually been a good day of interaction with you all. I think only 2-5 screengrabs of weather apps were sent to me. Should have taken the under huh
@RaceWeather

@lappedtrafficpc
While not as widespread as yesterday (not tropical system) Storms will be more sct'd this evening
@CLTMotorSpdwy
- Odds of Racing this evening 60-70% but with a lot more dry openings - working with
@RaceWeather
#NASCAR
Watching another radar source it’s still raining
@DISupdates
this is why I’m cautiously optimistic - some rain diminishing - not out of the woods and Lord knows been burned too many times by Daytona in July
#NASCAR
Since 2 am Saturday I've had 5 hours of sleep done all morning/evening shows here
@WHAS11
did morning Sunday and our late news and I will still watch this race. Yes tired but love me some
#NASCAR
I just want you all to know - some new many long time supporters that I appreciate you. Times are tough but we need more love and positivity - if you can today or this weekend. Do something nice for someone else.
6 pm Radar update for
@TooToughToTame
- still raining at the track but the cell looks to be raining itself out - I’d say estimate 45-60 min of rain (maybe less) no lightning - just a delay think we are still good after this
#NASCAR
Today was s big day in my faith - I made the adult decision to go “all in” in my faith of Christ & got baptized - while this has been on my heart for some time - through a friend & testimony of
@theTylerTrent
I felt it was time to glorify God and be all in my faith
@TonyTrent10
@Kat9798
back in November I made the decision to get baptized- while I’ve been a Christian following
@theTylerTrent
testimony & your story I’ve been so touched & moved as a dad, husband and Boilermaker - I will be in my
#TylerStrong
shirt as I get submerged
So now for the
#Coke600
because of the wave of storms coming from Indy in the early afternoon could reach CLT by 7-9pm so now the odds of racing are lower with delays. Maybe 60-70% but will have to watch radar as those storms move east-southeast
#NASCAR
#Coke600
So at first look for
@Daytona
- the concern will be a boundary Friday into Saturday. Best chc of rain looks like FRI with a slt chc. Sat. - I’m leaning more dry SUN. Will have more with
@RaceWeather

To everyone tweeting me app screen shots and telling me "You're Wrong" about WED... A lot fo the rain is morning/early afternoon but improving late afternoon evening Wed from what I am seeing. Just trying to provide info...

Not looking good for
@NASCAR_Xfinity
today. Rain only increases thru the day. Odds of Racing < 10%
SUN still not good. Rain starts to break 6-8p but not sure it's enough. Odds of Racing 15-20% (20 feels high)
Look at visibility around
@DAYTONA
- I think we will be good but will monitor for dog/mist with
@RaceWeather
(Until I have to go to bed) - also thank you all for your support - those who have been here today and those over the last 13 seasons - Thank You
#NASCAR
Promising Radar as of 7:49P ET. Rain diminishing so could see rain threaten and fall over
@DAYTONA
the next 60-ish min (maybe less) - we wait and see
#NASCAR
In case you’re tuning in and wondering why the
#Daytona500
is not on today and will be on Monday at 4pm ET - it’s wet. VERY VERY Wet. Radar est of over an inch of rain so far.

Thanks everyone - race is over - long weekend - WILL HAVE A
