Masters Week is only a few days away. Will the sun shine over Augusta or will you need to buy an umbrella from the Augusta National gift shop?

- April 7: There's a strong chance (more than 70%) that Sunday's rain will continue Monday until 1 p.m. There may be some letup going into the afternoon, but there's close to a 50/50 shot it will last all evening too. Winds will be fairly weak and temperatures will hover around 65 degrees for most of the day.
- April 8: The second practice round has a good chance of being a beautiful one. Sunny skies with little-to-no chance of clouds are very likely, but it won't be too hot, with temperatures sitting at about 50 degrees first thing in the morning and only rising to about 66 degrees in the afternoon.
