Will it rain during Spanish GP qualifying?

After rain fell during FP3, will Spanish Grand Prix qualifying be run in wet conditions?

Rain looks set to disrupt the running during Saturday afternoon's qualifying session for the Spanish Grand Prix. FP3 was disrupted by rain, which started to fall shortly after the session began, though the track was dry enough by the end of the session for drivers to put slick tyres back on, after having tried out Intermediate tyres after the rain began. According to the latest weather update from our friends at Weeronline.nl , the showers are moving southwestwards, but only fairly slowly, meaning wet conditions could remain in and around the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the remainder of the afternoon. The intensifying rain caused the F2 Sprint race - which took place after FP3 - to start behind the Safety Car, with all drivers on Wet tyres, and the latest update from Weeronline.nl suggests that qualifying will start with a wet track, with a 60 percent chance of further rain during the one-hour session.
