Meteorology staff will be on-site monitoring weather conditions. The USGA will communicate important safety information to fans through special alerts that will appear on all leader boards, through boards and video boards. Please read all alerts and follow safety instructions. In general, an alert shown in BLUE or YELLOW is being posted for general awareness while ORANGE indicates that fans should be prepared to take action. An Alert shown in RED poses an imminent threat and will require immediate action as stated in the Alert.
Weather Advisory (BLUE): A Weather Advisory will be posted to alert fans of specific weather conditions that will require certain precautions.
Weather Watch (YELLOW): A Weather Watch may be posted to alert fans that dangerous weather is possible.
Weather Warning (ORANGE): A Weather Warning may be posted to alert fans that dangerous weather is approaching, and they should be prepared to take shelter or return to their vehicles.
Weather Warning (RED): A Weather Warning may be posted to alert fans that dangerous weather is imminent, and they should take immediate action to ensure their safety, including exiting all grandstands.
A suspension of play for dangerous conditions will be indicated by one prolonged air-horn blast. In the event of a suspension of play, grandstands will be cleared immediately. If lightning is detected, please avoid open areas, hilltops, high places, isolated trees, golf carts and wire fences, and seek shelter immediately. Play will resume as soon as conditions allow.
