PGA Championship weather into this weekend will be much improved from the persistent soaking rain and showers of last weekend.
One of professional golf's four major tournaments,the 107th PGA Championship runs through Sunday at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte,North Carolina.
Here are the main takeaways of the forecast:
Drier Trend
Charlotte was stuck in a wet pattern since last Wednesday (May 7),in part from a slow-moving low-pressure system. That pesky low moved away from the Carolinas just in time for the tournament.
While the overall trend is drier,we can't completely rule out a stray shower or thunderstorm,mainly Saturday. However,we don't anticipate any lengthy delays,even if they do develop.

Trending Hotter
It's also trended notably warmer,with daytime highs generally expected in the mid- to upper 80s. That's a little hotter than the mid-May average high of 80 degrees.
While it won't be oppressively muggy,expect it to feel at least a bit humid throughout the tournament.

Winds Probably Not A Concern
If a stray shower or thunderstorm does flare up in the area,it could produce some brief wind gusts.
Other than that,we don't expect any strong winds around the Charlotte metro area through the weekend.
