The 110th running of the Indy 500 is scheduled to go green at 12:45 p.m. ET (FOX) on Sunday, assuming the weather cooperates.
The latest Indy 500 weather forecast does include rain Sunday afternoon at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which could result in a delay should it fall before and/or during the race.
With this in mind, let's take a more detailed look at the updated Indy 500 weather forecast, including when the rain is expected to arrive Sunday in Speedway, Ind.
Indy 500 Weather Forecast
According to the National Weather Service, there's a 60% chance of rain today at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which doesn't look all that promising.
The hourly breakdown suggests the start of the race could be wet, but does leave room for optimism later in the afternoon.
There's currently a 60% chance of rain at 12 p.m. ET, which is not ideal considering the 12:45 p.m. ET scheduled green flag.
The chances of rain dip to 36% by 4 p.m. ET, indicating that wet weather will begin clearing out as the afternoon progresses.
For those curious, Indianapolis Motor Speedway does not have lights, so IndyCar officials will be up against sunset if forced to delay today's race more than a few hours.
In the event that the Indy 500 does not make it past the half-way mark of lap 100 for an official race, Monday's forecast does look dry should the race ultimately get postponed due to rain.
Updated Indy 500 odds via BetMGM list Alex Palou as the favorite at +325, followed by Pato O'Ward (+575), David Malukas (+700), Conor Daly (+725) and Josef Newgarden (+1000).
