Kevin Roth's final weather forecast is now available in the RotoGrinders's main forum. It looks like we are in for a wet and windy week of golf. Roth predicts that the same weather pattern for both Thursday and Friday. Both days should start off with winds in the 10-15 mph range, and as the day progresses the chance of storms and stronger winds should prevail. The timing of rain for Thursday and Friday could vary, but we should see storms on both days. Saturday and Sunday's rounds will also feature breezy and wet conditions. Overall it looks that there is not much of an edge to stacking a tee time wave. If the weather gets bad, then you could give a slight bump to players that perform well in windy conditions.

The TPC Four Seasons will host the Byron Nelson for the last time. Months of preparation have gone into this event, and the early reports are that the golf course is in excellent shape. Weather always seems to play a role in this event, and early models indicate that we could once again have a golf tournament plagued by less than ideal conditions. Just two years ago it rained so hard that the course had to convert a par 4 hole into a par 3. Extreme weather does not appear to be a factor this week, but early models show that we could have wind and rain through out the week. For now it looks like there will be no favorable draw for the first two rounds, but those players who make the cut will most likely have rain to deal with on Saturday. Rounds one and two should both look to have winds in the upper teens, and a small chance of rain. Saturday the rain percentage increases to 90% with a chance for strong thunderstorms. Again as of now there is no apparent edge in favoring a particular tee time wave, and we will update the weather again prior to Thursday's opening round.
