Masters Week is about to start. Will the sun shine over Augusta or will you need to buy an umbrella from the Augusta National gift shop?
With it starting so soon, the weather models are now at their most accurate. Below is what to expect, based on data from the Weather Channel and AccuWeather:
What will the weather be like for the Masters practice rounds?
Practice rounds for the Masters are Monday and Tuesday. Here’s the forecast:

-
Monday: It’s now almost entirely certain the first practice round will see a lot of rain, and there’s a good chance of thunderstorms all morning until 1 p.m. While the conditions may be less severe, rain is likely to continue into the evening. Temperatures will feel like 70-73 degrees until 3 p.m. Winds are looking at around 9 mph with gusts of 15-21 mph.
-
Tuesday: The second practice round is still looking like a much prettier one. Sunny skies with little-to-no clouds (let alone rain) are likely, but it won’t be too hot, with temperatures sitting at about 50 degrees first thing in the morning and only rising to about 67 degrees in the late afternoon. Winds will be around 7 mph with 13 mph winds.
What will the weather be like for the Par 3 Contest?
The Masters Tournament Par 3 Contest is Wednesday. It’s looking like another lovely one with sunny skies and very little (if any) clouds. The morning might be a bit brisk with temperatures below 50 degrees before 10 a.m. warming to 66 degrees by the afternoon. Winds may be up to 9 mph with 16 mph gusts.
What will the weather be like for the Masters Tournament?
The Masters Tournament is Thursday through Sunday. Early reports indicated a very rainy Masters, but luckily, the forecasts have continued to improve as we get closer:
-
Thursday: Sunny skies with little to no clouds in the morning, gaining a bit more coverage after lunch. The early morning temps will be rather cool (less than 50) but will feel like 70 by noon. Morning winds will be 6 mph with 14 mph gusts, increasing in the afternoon to 8 mph with 18 mph.
-
Friday: The chances of rain are looking much better here than before. There is only a 20-40% chance of precipitation throughout the day. But whether or not it does, expect high humidity (especially in the morning) and mostly cloudy skies. The day will start with temperatures around 58 degrees and 67 by the afternoon. Morning winds will be 6 mph with 15 mph gusts, increasing in the afternoon to 9 mph with 18 mph.
-
Saturday: If there is any rain on Friday, it will likely be the last for the Masters. It’s hard to say how the early morning will feel exactly with temperatures feeling like less than 55 degrees but high humidities. As the day progresses, with the temp rising and the humidity falling, reaching 67 degrees and 35% humidity by 4 p.m. Winds will be 7-9 mph with gusts of 14 mph. The skies will be partly cloudy.
-
Sunday: Sunny skies with little to no clouds all day. High humidity in the morning. Temperatures will feel like less than 50 degrees before 10 a.m. It should warm up a bit by lunch, but will only reach 69 degrees by 4 p.m. Winds will be around 6-7 mph with gusts of 12-13 mph.
