NASCAR Back in Virginia

NASCAR returns to the Commonwealth this weekend, with the Goody's Fast Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Rain will be very likely on Sunday in central Virginia, and it unfortunately looks like a wet day down in Martinsville as well. If the storm system should accelerate, it would take most of the rain east of the area by early afternoon. I don't see that happening right now, but I'll keep you posted. I'll have another race day forecast on Friday.

Updated Ukrop's Monument Ave 10K Forecast

Unsettled weather will return to central Virginia late Wednesday through the weekend, making rain a possibility during this year's Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10K. The only change to the forecast has been to lower the temperatures a little. Mostly cloudy and cool conditions should be great for the racers. Here's the latest forecast from the CBS 6 Storm Center:
