What is the weather forecast for the Preakness Stakes 2025?

Early forecasts for the Preakness 2025 at Baltimore suggested morning showers accompanied by thunderstorms. However, as the day progresses, the weather is expected to improve significantly. Ahead of the post time, the sky is expected to gradually start clearing. By the time of the race forecast suggests the weather to be sunny with no chances of rain. Thus, fans should not worry about any delay or postponement of the race right at the beginning, as reported by CBS Sports.

Although earlier rain may leave the Pimlico track damp or muddy for the 2025 Preakness Stakes, improving weather is expected to help the surface dry out by race time. However, any lingering moisture could still favour horses with a proven record on wet tracks, often called "mudders."
