Sat 02 | Day

Cloudy skies with periods of light rain later in the day. High around 65F. Winds SSW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 70%.

Your forecast looks like the evening forecast...

Rain early...then remaining cloudy with showers late. Low 54F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch.

If they have an off track at Dmr, on this of all weekends, that would be really something.

At SA in 2003 it looked like it was snowing, but it was just ashes from the fires.

I\'m now seeing the same thing you are.  The forecast changed while I was out.  I have a friend whose theory of the weather is that it always arrives later than they predict.

Early Breeders Cup RacingCast: Rain IS slowly sneaking into the forecast on Saturday for the BC. Currently it looks like light rain will begin around Noon PDT. This will continue off and on throughout totaling around a tenth of an inch during the card. I would not expect this to have an impact on surface conditions.

Risk abating further.  I\'m now seeing only a 17% chance of a shower.
