2022 Houston Open Weather Forecast and Projections
We’re teeing off for the Houston Open this week, and there’s one wave that could run into some issues.
As usual in my Golf weather forecasts, we’re focusing more on wind than rain. While rain can halt play if it’s heavy enough, it also helps to soften and slow the course, meaning it helps as much as it hurts. With wind there’s no helpful side, it’s all negative impact, and the impact can lead to dramatic differences in scoring. My goal is always to try and highlight the timeframe with the lightest winds, the time with the strongest winds, and to see if there’s a cumulative advantage for one wave over another. You can use then use this to your advantage making your picks on DFS sites and sportsbooks.

Houston Open Weather Report & Forecast
Round 1 Weather Projection – Thursday, November 10th
Pretty perfect day, 5-10mph winds with no rain all day long.
Round 2 Weather Projection – Friday, November 11th
Friday starts great, with light winds around sunrise increase to 5-10mph by the late AM. In the afternoon a front arrives (likely late-afternoon), and winds will pick up behind that front, creating some issues for our latest golfers as winds increase to around 15mph sustained with stronger gusts. Rain chances will also be picking up in the afternoon, scattered showers are possible out ahead of the front, and likely as it moves through.
Round 3 Weather Projection – Saturday, November 12th
We stay a bit breezy Saturday, with winds around 15mph, winding down to 10mph by the late afternoon.
Round 4 Weather Projection – Sunday, November 13th
Winds around 10mph most of the day, no precip, quiet weather.
Overall Houston Open Weather Forecast
As I mentioned in the intro, when it comes to finding a usable and predictable edge for PGA, wind matters a lot more than rain. In this case the only problematic winds come late Friday afternoon and into Saturday. That means a Thursday PM / Friday AM group would minimize any wind risk, but even a Friday afternoon golfer would likely get most of the round in before winds pick up. Stay tuned to @KevinRothWx for the latest.
