Raceday summary: Dry start, rain and showers expected later

...
Switching to the radar from the UK Met Office, the rainfall is revealed. The latest batch coming from the south-west, is due to continue towards Silverstone this evening, falling over the circuit and again washing the surface clean. The rain this evening is expected to stop sometime after dark.
The rain will then clear slowly to the north during the early hours of the morning, leaving the track to dawn dry but overcast. Sunday's batch of rain is expected again to come from the south-west, arriving towards the end of the morning. Light to moderate rain is anticipated for a time.
However, Saturday morning's band of rain decreased in size from the previous evening's prediction, so another reduction in the amount of rain for Sunday cannot be ruled out. If the band holds together as it approaches Silverstone, then around three hours of consistently light rainfall with some heavier pulses can be expected. The band of rain will clear to the north-east during early-to-mid afternoon, with heavy showers following on behind.
To sum up Sunday in a nutshell, what everyone is expecting is a band of rain late morning, easing off early afternoon with showers behind it.
