Estimated green flag is 3:56p Eastern

From raceweather.net
At 2:00 PM ET, 89°F, Heat index: 99°F, SE winds 5 gusts to 13 mph @HomesteadMiami. Showers/storms in area, rain chcs fcst to increases into afternoon hours. Coord w/@NASCAR_Wxman, Odds of Racing 65%

A stationary front persists across northern Florida. Adding to the weather situation this weekend, a weak trough of low pressure across the Florida Atlantic coast and is expected to strengthen and slowly move across the area today. This will leave the Homestead forecast in a typical June pattern with a risk of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, though enhanced Sunday by the trough.
