It will feel more like July or August this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. Besides the action on the track being hot for the NASCAR Nationwide and Sprint Cup series so will the temperatures. Each afternoon the temperatures will climb to near 90 and feel even hotter with the humidity.
With all the moisture around each afternoon there's the risk for a few isolated or scattered thunderstorms. The likelihood of any activity hitting the track is low but if one were to form and move over Talladega Superspeedway it probably wouldn't last more than 30 to 45 minutes. The biggest concern this weekend for fans will be the heat and summer-like steam.
