The most important date in the golfing calendar is upon us, with The Masters commencing this week at Augusta National.
All eyes will be on the famous golf course from Thursday onwards as round one begins, while plenty of top golfers will be strutting their stuff during the practice rounds earlier in the week.
Can Rory McIlroy defend his title after his monumental win last year? Or will we see a Green Jacket handed to a new contender come Sunday evening?
After the Valero Texas Open was interrupted by bad weather this past weekend, we're all hoping for better conditions over the next few days.
So, here's a look at the weather forecast around Augusta, Georgia this week.
Weather Forecast For The Masters
Obviously, the weather is always unpredictable, and we're sure conditions will change over the course of the next few days, but according to information via The Masters, things are looking promising right now.
The report there states: "Partly cloudy to a mix of sun and high clouds with dry conditions forecast throughout the day. The temperature is forecast to reach a high near 70°F this afternoon.
"Relative humidity values will drop to around 25%–35% each afternoon through Wednesday, leading to very dry conditions. Dry weather will persist throughout the tournament week, with breezy northeasterly to east-northeasterly winds forecast through Thursday.
"Temperatures will gradually warm for the second half of the week and will reach the low to mid 80s this weekend."
In short, it'll be dry in Georgia this week, which is the most important thing. It'll also be relatively warm, which is always a nice bonus, though there will be a slight breeze.
There isn't too much wind to worry about, either. On the Thursday, we may see 20mph gusts, but those winds will drop to 12mph on the Friday.
