Title: Realistic Derby Weather?
Post by: Molesap on May 05, 2017, 03:39:06 PM
I heard some many things about the weather today from completely opposite ends of the spectrum, but what I want to know is - what does it look like for Derby Day? Any predictions? Thanks.

They are going to receive between 3/4 - 1 inch from tonight through tomorrow morning...there should be some brightening mid afternoon... again...it could stop raining late morning or mud afternoon...if the latter they might have time to work at least a bit on the surface... just MORE confusion to add to an already confusion race...

I live in Lexington, little over an hour away. The forecast tonight calls for temps in the 40s, rain chances near 50% tomorrow, cloudy with a high in the mid 50s.
Under those conditions it\'s really hard to see that track drying out.
