Pre-Tournament Conditions:

In recent years, the Masters Tournament has navigated various weather challenges. The iconic final round of Tiger Woods’ 2019 victory was rescheduled due to impending storms, while last year’s tournament saw leaders playing 30 holes on Sunday amid storm disruptions. However, this year’s tournament seems to be facing a different weather pattern, with minimal rain expected except for Thursday.

Thursday’s Forecast:

Thursday stands out as the exception, with an 80% chance of showers and thunderstorms predicted, along with expected rainfall ranging from 1.00 to 1.50 inches. According to the official Augusta National weather forecast, isolated light showers might occur on Tuesday and Wednesday before heavier rains arrive early Thursday. A cold front is anticipated to pass through in the early afternoon, gradually diminishing precipitation chances for the rest of the day. Thunderstorm wind gusts of 40-45 mph are possible, but conditions are projected to clear up by Thursday afternoon.
