It’s Masters Week in Augusta. Like many years, there is always a chance of rain in the area. But whether you get rained out at the Masters, or you're just looking for places to go when you're not at the course, we've got some ideas.
According to WJBF, there’s currently a chance of heavy downpours from Wednesday night through early Thursday morning. The threat of severe weather will be from 8 a.m. to noon. The afternoon should be dry.
The biggest concern will be high winds. Gusts between 30-45 mph are possible Wednesday night through Friday night.
