It's 50 degrees on the second to last day of April. That's quite frigid for a time when we think of 70 degrees and maybe a rain shower in the afternoon. This is the last day of 50 degree weather for what looks like quite a while, maybe even until fall (hopefully). Temperatures will recover back to 70 degrees tomorrow and reach to near 80 degrees by Thursday!
Friday's Oaks race looks iffy right now with some possible showers in the area, but we might pull through with a dry one. Derby looks fine because the thunderstorms should exit the area the morning of the race (track will most likely be muddy... factor that in to your wagers on Saturday). The SPC isn't calling for any severe weather yet for Friday night, citing some concerns with instability and airflow issues. It's difficult for me to read that when the GFS is painting what looks to be a nice squall line here late Friday evening...

If the rain ends by morning, the track will be "fast" for the Derby running. That dirt, dries out quickly. Really, the only way you get a mud track is if it rains within an hour of the race.
