2025 US Open week forecast: Full weather update at Oakmont Country Club
U.S. Open 2025 week has arrived, and while excitement will start to build up for the third major of the year, there is some concern on how much golf will be played with potential weather problems. This year's U.S. Open will take place at the Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. It will be the 10th time the course will be the site of the championship, and the 2025 edition might present some major challenges to every golfer. Advertisement The week is expected to start with rain and thunderstorms as practice rounds begin, and while the weather should clear up by the time the first round tees off, things could get tricky by the third and final round on the weekend, making it either tough to play or stopping it all entirely. Here is the forecast breakdown for each day of the tournament from the National Weather Service, AccuWeather and The Weather Channel. US Open 2025 forecast Monday, June 9 A slight chance of showers in the morning with cloudy conditions to start the day, but then potential for thunderstorms and showers in the afternoon with a high of 81 degrees. Winds will range from 5 to 9 mph, with potential gusts at 23 mph. Tuesday, June 10 Conditions should improve compared to Monday with a mostly sunny day with a high around 77. There is a small chance of precipitation. Winds could be slightly stronger around 6 to 11 mph, and gusts could reach 25 mph. Wednesday, June 11 The weather becomes most ideal in the final day of practice rounds with sunny skies with a high temperature around 82 degrees. Thursday, June 12 (first round) First round action tees off with one of the hottest days of the week. Forecasts call for mostly sunny skies as morning temperatures will reach around 86 degrees and stay consistent throughout the day, and it could feel hotter with the humidity making it feel around 94 degrees. Winds will be 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to 22 mph. Friday, June 13 (second round) The day will start relatively calm with light winds accompanying a partly sunny morning around 83 degrees. It will feel hotter as the day goes by despite clouds rolling in thanks to the humidity, making it feel around 95 degrees. Winds should continue to be calm throughout the day. There is a small chance of precipitation. Saturday, June 14 (third round) After the cut is made, that's when the weather could become an issue. The morning forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies with the possibility of rain, but thunderstorms could develop in the afternoon, which could suspend play. Scattered thunderstorms could continue into the night. Winds will be in the 5 to 10 mph range with gusts up to 14 mph. Sunday, June 15 (final round) Rain will remain a heavy possibility on championship day with showers in the morning with the chance of thunderstorms developing into the afternoon, possibly making it tough to get a full round of play in. The chance of rain is about 50%, and winds will be at 5 to 10 mph with potential gusts of 21 mph. Advertisement The biggest stories, every morning.

Expect a hotter, muggier Richmond summer
The Richmond region has a 40% to 50% chance of summer being hotter than average, according to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center. Why it matters: Richmond summers typically feel like one is standing at the gates of hell to begin with. State of play: Hotter summers are one of the most tangible ways we're experiencing climate change — and they're a health risk for vulnerable groups like children, pregnant women, the elderly and homeless people. And in Richmond, after a cooler-(and wetter) -than-usual May, summer weather seems to be finally settling in for the season, whether we like it or not. Zoom in: Historically, a normal summer day here has a high of about 90 and a low of 70, per NWS — and that's without the humidity factored in. With it factored in, RVA's summer "feels like" temperature can reach 105 to 110, per NWS Wakefield's Richmond climate data. 🥵 And this year, it's likely to be even hotter. Plus, the East Coast will see above average precipitation this summer, which will mean even muggier conditions, per the Washington Post. In RVA, it's never the heat that gets us, of course. It's the humidity. Zoom out: It's not just this year. Summers are getting warmer nearly nationwide, per a new report from Climate Central, a climate research group. Average Richmond summer temperatures between 1970 and 2024 are now 2.7°F hotter on average. Between the lines: Richmond, like many cities, suffers from " heat islands" — areas of especially high temperatures caused by roads, parking lots, buildings and other heat-trapping features. Heat islands tend to be more common in low-income neighborhoods and ones with predominantly Black and Latino residents, researchers have found. The bottom line: Summer is awful in Richmond, and this year's is expected to be even worse.
