Overview
- Forecasters say overnight showers were likely to taper before Thursday’s opening round, leaving mostly dry, cool conditions with highs in the mid-60s.
- Models that had signaled higher rain totals earlier in the week have trended lighter, reducing the chance of a soft, low‑scoring start.
- Brisk breezes near 20 mph are expected Thursday and Friday, which should speed up the greens by drying remaining moisture.
- Temperatures are set to climb through the weekend, reaching around 80 on Saturday and the mid‑80s on Sunday, with only a slight chance of a pop‑up storm late Sunday.
- Regional rainfall has been well below normal, with drought alerts nearby, a backdrop that helps keep Aronimink’s sloped fairways and greens firm and puts a premium on spin control; a heavier‑than‑forecast soaking would flip that script and likely drop scores.
