Talladega Superspeedway will literally experience a change in seasons during the NASCAR weekend. A strong cold front moves through the state today into tonight. Temperatures will go from near 80 this afternoon to the low 60s by Sunday afternoon.
Along with this cold front comes the chance of isolated showers and storms late this afternoon and evening. The threat continues overnight and diminishes early Sunday morning. All though there is a chance for rain and storms tomorrow afternoon, most of the activity appears to be more miss than hit for the Camping World Truck Series race.
Rain is not a concern for Sunday's Sprint Cup Series Race, teams and fans will have to adjust with the noticeably colder air in place during the afternoon.
