The rest of the week features at least a 30-percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, with temperatures in the low- to mid-80s.
As of now, the forecast for the final round calls for a 60-percent chance of afternoon showers and storms, with a high temperature of 85 degrees and wind gusts up to 25 mph. The final group typically tees off at about 2:45 p.m. ET Sunday.
