Kentucky Derby Could Have Muddy Track
KENTUCKY...
Derby patrons should expect lots of rain Saturday with thunderstorms that could produce hail and strong winds. Depending on timing, this could turn out to be a miserable Derby. The track could muddy. Umbrellas are not permitted into the track on Derby Day. Periods of heavy rain and strong thunderstorms are expected to move into the region tonight and stick around through the weekend, according to a special statement by the National Weather Service. The weather service is reporting “two episodes” of severe weather — Friday night into Saturday morning and late Saturday into Sunday morning — that could cause some flooding with 2 to 4 inches of rain expected to fall during that time.
