corvette john Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Won't get bad till the 2 different temp's hit one another , then its on baby. Usually a 30 degree difference makes for one hellofa storm. But I'm hoping not. It looked so good last friday night, I pulled an all nighter and was race ready for sat. Now she just sits in the trailer, waiting, waiting for her chance to come out and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregGurley Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 John, I'm planning on bringing some of my new weedless topwater lures to test out in the infield tomorrow. If this keeps up, Brian is going to have to go ahead and stock the track with fish and charge admission to some fishermen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProTree Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 at 5:00 pm friday-just issued a flash flood watch for san antonio and austin from late tonite till tomorrow afternoon--at present a line from south of san angelo pass abilene moving southeast-aint lookin good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 The Austin/San Antonio area could possibly miss the biggest part of the weather associated with the cold front. Reading between the lines of the NWS discussion below, the key idea is the timing of the maximum heating which will work against severe weather just as the front moves over central/south Texas. In other words, the heavy rain could die down before it gets to us sometime after midnight and then pick up again after 10a.m on Saturday, but by then the front may have passed on through. So, at least there's a chance we can get to see some racing on Saturday night. BUT.. look at the temperatures that we will be seeing on Saturday night and Sunday morning -- in the 40's!! Bring your blanket to the races this time.. Nick Holt ++++++++++++ AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 406 PM CDT FRI APR 30 2004 .DISCUSSION... POTENT UPPER SYSTEM TO ACCOMPANY A STRONG COLD FRONT AND RESULT IN ANOTHER FLASH FLOOD THREAT TONIGHT. A SEVERE THREAT IS ALSO A MINOR CONCERN...BUT TIMING OF MAX HEATING WILL WORK AGAINST SEVERE POTENTIAL. AFTERNOON CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS BEEN CONTROLLED BY A CAPPING INVERSION WITH ONLY A FEW ATTEMPTS TO POP THROUGH FROM FORT STOCKTON TO THE BURRO MOUNTAINS. THESE CELLS COULD POTENTIALLY INTERFERE WITH THE LARGER THREAT BY ROLLING OFF HIGHER ELEVATIONS TO ALTER STORM INFLOW. HOWEVER, THE BEST SCENARIO STILL LOOKS LIKE THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE TO ISOLATED AND A WELL ORGANIZED SLOW MOVING COMPLEX TAPPING INTO PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 1.5 TO 1.7 INCHES AS IT MOVES INTO THE HILL COUNTRY LATE TONIGHT. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WILL BE GREATEST OVER THE HILL COUNTRY STARTING AROUND MIDNIGHT AND PICKING UP AGAIN AFTER 10 AM OVER SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. THE TORNADO THREAT WOULD MOST LIKELY BE MOST ENHANCED OVER THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES AROUND NOON TOMORROW IF AT ALL. THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT IS MORE UNIFORM ACROSS THE AREA AS ALL AREAS HAVE ONE-HOUR FF GUIDANCES AT OR BELOW 2 INCHES. TRAINING OF THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE LEADING EDGE WILL BE THE PRIMARY CULPRIT. THE SYSTEM WILL PROBABLY WEAKEN TO PRODUCE HALF INCH AREAL PRECIPITATION AVERAGES OVER CENTRAL SECTIONS WITH ONE INCH AVERAGES AND ISOLATED 3 INCH TOTALS OVER THE HILL COUNTRY TONIGHT AND OVER SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. BEHIND THIS STRONG SYSTEM A COUPLE DAYS OF COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL THREATEN RECORD LOWS FOR MANY SPOTS SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY: AUS SUN 49/1976 MON 49/1954 TUE 46/1978 ATT SUN 41/1925 MON 45/1929 TUE 42/1907 DRT SUN 49/1976 MON 45/1970 TUE 47/1954 SAT SUN 47/1976 MON 49/1970 TUE 44/1954 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krusty_rusty Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Will they call the race if it rains overnight and dies out before noon, or will they just dry off the track and let us go racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krusty_rusty Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 what about the parking there though, because thats usually the big sticking point at san antonio when it rains isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 If San Antonio Speedway receives much rain over the next 12 hours, the parking lot will be unusable. I'm sure that will come into play as Mr. Sepich and Mr. Mullins make their decisions regarding tonight's races. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVCMNGR1 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Well, this looks like an exercise in futility, but the plan is to load up at 5:30 and head towards San Antonio. It's raining here right now. Any news yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
