UPDATE #1.
Question:
So if it is going to rain, how much is it going to rain and when ?
Answer:
Referring to the current (HPC) rain forecast charts (see picture below), between:
- 8 PM EDT Friday to 2 AM EDT Saturday - .05 inches of rain will fall
- 2 AM EDT Saturday to 8 AM EDT Saturday - .20 inches of rain will fall
- 8 AM EDT Saturday to 2 PM EDT Saturday - .35 inches of rain will fall
(Poker Run Start Time is 11 AM EDT OR 10 AM CDT (State Dock Time)
- 2 PM EDT Saturday to 8 PM EDT Saturday - .30 inches of rain will fall
Total Rainfall between 8 PM Friday and 8 PM Saturday - .9 or approximately 1 inch.
I sure hope the drivers and passengers in those "Go Fasts" wear some type of
protective clothing and goggles or full face shield.
Those rain drops are going to hurt at 100+ MPH.

O.K.
But, the NWS is saying we will see rain Friday through Saturday evening. Probably not continuously.
