2025 U.S. Open: Forecast shows storms could impact play at Oakmont
In 1973, overnight an overnight rainstorm made conditions just right for Johnny Miller to shoot a record-breaking 63 in the final round to win the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. In 1994, Oakmont saw Ernie Els brave scorching temperatures nearing 100 degrees to win the U.S. Open in a playoff over Loren Roberts and Colin Montgomerie. Advertisement Weather has always been part of the story at Oakmont — arguably golf's most menacing venue — and while players probably won't be dealing with triple-digit heat like the Big Easy did in '94, but there could be some adverse conditions during the 125th playing of the U.S. Open. What is the U.S. Open weather forecast? The first few days of the week, when players will be participating in practice rounds, look pretty promising, according to meteorologists with WTAE in Pittsburgh. Rain is expected on Monday with a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms, but Tuesday and Wednesday should provide some beautiful weather as players put final touches on their preparation. Advertisement Thursday will be much of the same as players tee off for the U.S. Open. Sunny conditions and high temperatures in the mid-80s are expected for first round action, with light winds of 5-10 mph from the southwest. Friday is where it could start to get a little shaky. There's a small chance of rain showers during the day and it increases as the day goes on, increasing to 40 percent later in the evening. Highs are projected to be in the low 80s with light winds. Saturday looks like the worst day of the week. Forecasters are calling for a 60 percent chance of rain, with showers in the morning followed by thunderstorms in the afternoon. Still, the temps will be comfortable (mid-70s) and the wind won't play too much of a factor at 5-10 mph out of the south. Sunday also has rain in the forecast after thunderstorms throughout the night Saturday. Fans and players might not see the sun during the final round, either. Cloudy with a 50 percent chance of showers and light winds from the southeast. Advertisement Of course, weather is volatile and forecasts can always change, so be sure to check back throughout the week for more accurate conditions at Oakmont. The third hole of Oakmont Country Club in the Oakmont, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, July 2, 2024. Western Pennsylvania experiences flash flooding ahead of 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Before the players even arrive at Oakmont, the area will have already seen a lot of moisture. Flash flood warnings were out for parts of western Pennsylvania on Sunday, including several counties in the Pittsburgh metro. It remains to be seen how that impacts the difficulty of the golf course — if at all — but anyone attending the U.S. Open should definitely wear shoes that can handle some mud.
