Thunderstorms in forecast for final round of Masters
The weather is looking better in Augusta — except for the possibility of thunderstorms on Sunday’s final round.
Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan says it will be wet at times for today’s Masters practice round at Augusta National Golf Club.
But dryer weather lingers through Wednesday and Thursday, with highs in the low 80s.
The chance for a few showers returns for Friday’s second round, Monahan says. Highs will remain in the low- to mid-80s.
The weekend will be warm and humid, but clouds and rain will be the theme of the closing rounds. On Sunday, Monahan says, a cold front moves in with showers and storms threatening late in the day.
It's #Masters week! Looking wet at times for the practice rounds today and tomorrow -- and we'll have a chance of storms in Augusta Friday into the weekend.
