Player Championship weather: First three days of competition will be in near-perfect conditions
The first three days of competition in The Players Championship look as if they will be the First Coast's reward for a cold winter.
The operative number for the weather forecast at the Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass is 0.
As in, 0 percent chance of rain the first three days. None. Nada.
And moderate temperatures.
The Thursday, Friday, and Saturday rounds will be straight from the Chamber of Commerce wish list for any outdoor event. Sunday will get a bit iffy, but according to PGA Tour meteorologist Wade Stettner, there's a good chance rain might hold off until very late into the final round or even after play concludes.
Thursday: Sunny, high 73, low 55. Wind calm in the morning, increasing to 8-15 mph in the afternoon from the South and Southeast. Rain chance 0 percent.
Friday: Sunny, high 72, low 58. Wind calm in the morning, increasing to 8-15 mph in the afternoon from the East. Rain chance 0 percent.
Saturday: Partly cloudy, high 76, low 63. Wind increasing throughout the day to 15-25 mph out of the SE, gusting to 30. Rain chance 0 percent.
Sunday: Partly cloudy early, high 78, low 68. Wind 14-22 mph from the South, gusting to 28 mph. Rain chance 50 percent late in the day.
Stettner's note: "Winds will follow a sea breeze pattern the next couple of days. Winds will build throughout the day on Saturday and could gust to 30 mph by later afternoon. A strong cold front is forecast to arrive late Sunday with breezy conditions and a chance of thunderstorms.
