The Masters tournament is currently taking place at Augusta National Golf Course in Georgia and will continue through Sunday. According to AccuWeather meteorologists, the weekend forecast is looking bright, with the risk of thunderstorm activity diminishing after late Friday to Friday night. Storms that originated from the Tennessee Valley and moved towards the southeastern United States weakened as they approached Augusta, Georgia, on Thursday night. These storms brought around 0.10 to 0.50 inches of rain to the area.
Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark was seen walking on the second hole during the first round of the Masters golf tournament on Thursday, April 10, 2025, in Augusta, GA.
While much of Friday is expected to be rain-free, there may be scattered pop-up thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening following several hours of sunshine. Officials should keep an eye on developing showers in the afternoon and evening for any lightning activity. Any thunderstorm that forms could bring gusty winds, quick downpours, and possibly small hail. In the event of a severe thunderstorm passing over the golf course, there could be heavy rain, marble-sized hail, and strong winds capable of toppling trees.
On the other hand, the weather for the upcoming weekend looks promising and perfect for golf. After a cool start on Saturday morning, with potentially damp greens and fairways, temperatures are expected to climb to the upper 60s to near 70 later in the day. A breeze and reduced humidity levels will aid in drying conditions.
Sunday is forecasted to have light winds, with any morning dew evaporating quickly during the mid-morning hours. Afternoon temperatures will stay around 70 degrees with abundant sunshine typical of mid-April.
