Masters Sunday forecast calls for heavy rain, strong winds

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Saturday at the Masters will feature mostly-cloudy skies with no more than a 40-percent chance of scattered thunderstorms, but the final round at Augusta National could be interesting.

Throughout the week the forecast has barely changed – on Sunday, there’s a 30-percent of showers and thunderstorms in the morning, but the coverage expands to 80 percent after 4 p.m. ET, with heavy rain and strong winds expected.

The final group at the Masters usually goes off around 2:45 p.m. Sunday.

It’s not immediately clear whether the Masters Committee will move up tee times on Sunday to avoid the expected rough weather.
