Heading north for the Indy 500? Pack a jacket

Heading north for the Indy 500?  Pack a jacket

Plenty of Dubois and Pike County residents are getting set to make the annual trek to the track.

Much cooler this year for the Indy 500 with highs only in the mid to upper 60s. Expect some wind gusts up to 20-miles an hour if you are sitting in elevated seats that face north.

Scattered rain just to the north of the track during the morning but a few showers early in the afternoon. However, not an all day rain and severe weather is not a threat.

The experts say to still bring sunscreen despite more clouds and cooler temps this year.
