Racing takes center stage in Arlington this weekend, and the forecast looks mostly clear of issues.
The Java House Grand Prix of Arlington has programming Friday through Sunday, with practice rounds, stunt shows, music from various artists such as T-Pain and All Time Low and, of course, races. Attendees should expect clear skies after a week of rain and severe weather threats.
Coming off of Thursday’s cold front, Friday is expected to be a little cooler than Saturday and Sunday, with a high of 77 degrees, according to the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office. Over the weekend, the high is expected to reach the low 80s.
Despite sunny skies, wind could still be a hazard. Gusts should be calmer Friday but could reach 28 miles per hour on Saturday and 37 miles per hour on Sunday.
