The 2018 British Open Championship weather forecast looks to include the chance of rain falling on Friday at Carnoustie Golf Club, and the updated forecast for the week calls for modest wind throughout the week in Angus, Scotland.

The general weather forecast calls for basically no chance of rain during championship days, with temperatures in the high 60s. The wind will be slightly heavier on championship Sunday, but the prevailing wind is blowing out of the southwest all four days, with slight variations on Thursday and Sunday.

Of course, winds can clock and change throughout the day, but it appears the wind won't be a big factor in the championship.

2018 British Open Championship updated weather forecast

  • Thursday: 68 degrees, partly cloudy, SW 13 mph winds, small chance of rain
  • Friday: 66 degrees, partly cloudy, SW 13 mph winds, 70 percent chance of morning rain
  • Saturday: 65 degrees, partly cloudy, SW 10 mph winds, small chance of rain
  • Sunday: 70 degrees, partly cloudy with afternoon sun, WSW 16 mph winds, small chance of rain
