PGA Weather Report

Detailed breakdown for every PGA event by RotoGrinders Chief Meteorologist, Kevin Roth

PGA Weather for the Texas Children's Houston Open. Follow Roth on Twitter, @KevinRothWx.

  • yellow   THURS AM: Winds are light Thursday morning (5-10mph), but a few rain showers are possible.
  • yellow  / orange   THURS PM: Remain remain fairly manageable, likely increasing to around 10mph sustained in the afternoon. Off and on rain showers remain look fairly likely through the afternoon, and a delay is possible (though as of now the lightning threat looks low, so I'm hoping they can play through).
  • yellow  / orange   FRI AM: Things get much trickier on Friday, because winds are going to be determined by the rain... and the rain isn't set in stone. I'll say Friday morning brings a chance for some showers and storms, with sustained winds 10-15mph, but a chance for much higher gusts if a heavy batch of rain moves near.
  • orange   FRI PM: Again there's some questions here on timing out the wind and rain, but in general I think 10-15mph winds with occasionally significantly higher gusts (30+) are possible at any time when rain bands move in. There's the potential for showers and storms, thus the potential for a delay / delays.
  • green   WEEKEND: We look mostly (if not fully) dry by the weekend. Winds should be around 10mph with stronger gusts both Saturday and Sunday, with a tiny increase in winds each afternoon compared to the morning.
  • orange   OVERALL: I'm not saying there's not an eventual weather advantage that will pan out here, but I am saying that as of now I couldn't tell you which wave I'd prefer. There's just too much variability in the rain, the winds which will only gust hard when rains are moving in, and the potential for delays to shift the tee times around. I truly do not have a preferred draw, there's just too much uncertainty, and I'm not the type to pretend I know things when I don't.
