Play at the Lancaster Country Club is scheduled to begin for the renowned U.S. Women’s Open on Thursday and continue through Sunday. The stage is set for the second major of the LPGA Tour, with players like World No. 1 Nelly Korda and the superstar Lexi Thompson all vying for the big prize. While players and golf fans alike are looking forward to the occasion, one crucial issue still needs to be addressed. Will the weather cooperate?
Thursday and Friday’s weather at the U.S. Women’s Open
The National Weather Service predicts largely clear conditions for the tournament after areas of Lancaster County were under tornado warnings over the Memorial Day weekend. A high-pressure system will be brought in on Wednesday by sporadic showers and thunderstorms, guaranteeing mainly sunny skies on Thursday. Nevertheless, the storms’ northeasterly gusts could reach 10 to 20 mph, which could cause the temperature to drop by five degrees below average.

This means the tournament can get off to a great start with clear skies, although the wind could cause trouble for the players. Temperatures on Friday will mirror those of Thursday but will gradually increase, reaching into the high 70s. Early tee times on Thursday and Friday will likely experience cooler starts, though winds are expected to be less of a factor beyond Thursday.

Saturday will most likely be a repeat of Friday, with even warmer temperatures and even lesser chances of wind. The temperature will rise gradually and perhaps reach 80 degrees on Saturday. The dominant high-pressure system will persist, bringing sunny, dry conditions perfect for a round of golf.
Sunday is the main day of the event when it might rain. The outlook calls for a largely bright sky and low 80s temperatures, so the likelihood is still quite low. The rough should be difficult, but the greens should be forgiving due to the recent showers and soggy spring.
The head of the Weather Information Center at Millersville University, Kyle Elliott, highlights that the weather will be mostly cooperative, and the overall picture for the tournament is good.
