Let’s start with the bad news first. The 2025 Masters has gotten off to a wet start, with rain and lightning delaying the opening of patron gates during Monday’s practice round and causing the course at Augusta National to close for the day shortly before 11:30 a.m.
Now for the good news: After Monday, the weather forecast for the remainder of Masters week looks to be fairly good, so long as you don’t mind cool conditions.
While the rain is expected to linger in the Augusta through the early evening Monday night. When the front passes, it will bring with it sunny skies for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. But temperatures, which were in the high 80s on Saturday and Sunday for the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals, will decrease to a high of 68 degrees for the final two practice rounds, with winds expected to blow around 10 to 15 miles per hours Tuesday and t to 10 miles per hour Wednesday.

On Thursday, when the ceremonial opening starters kick off the first round at 8 a.m., the forecast calls for warmer conditions, the high forecast around 76 degrees. A few clouds are expected for the afternoon, but winds will remain be in the 7- to 14-mph range.
Masters fans and players aren’t completely out of the woods for more wet weather, however. Friday’s forecast calls for a 40 percent chance of showers in the morning, with the afternoon improving as the winds remain around 7 to 14 mph. The expected high is predicted to be 71 degrees. If the rain causes a delay in play, it will mark the seventh straight year that weather has interrupted play at Augusta National and the 50th time in 89 editions of the Masters.
Saturday looks to bring the last possibility of wet weather, but it’s less certain. While expected to be mostly sunny with a high of 67, there is a 20 percent chance of an afternoon shower. Come Sunday, sunny skies are expected with temperatures still only reaching 72 degrees.
