The stalled system along the Gulf Coast could be the catalyst for the development of a tropical or subtropical low-pressure system toward the middle of next week. Regardless of what development happens, heavy rain will be possible along much of the coast. As much as 6 inches of rain could fall in some areas.

After a successful first day of play at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia, the weather takes a decidedly wetter turn for the remainder of play. Friday’s tee times have been moved up to take advantage of what dry weather remains. More than 2 inches of rain could fall at the tournament by Monday, which would place 2023 among the wettest tourneys on record.
