Sunday's race has a small chance of a light shower during the 63-lap grand prix, which starts at 3pm local time.
The current FIA guidance is a 20% risk of rain but temperatures should reach a high of 23C.
What is happening at Alpine?
Alpine have a new driver line-up at Imola, as Australian Jack Doohan has been replaced by Franco Colapinto after only six races.
The French team said Argentine Colapinto will partner Pierre Gasly this weekend and there will then be a "new evaluation before the British Grand Prix", which is on 4-6 July.
Team principal Oliver Oakes has also left Alpine less than a year after being appointed to the role.
Executive adviser Flavio Briatore will continue in his role and now also cover the duties Oakes had performed.
