Open Championship weather forecast: Will it rain in Round 2 today?

Mother Nature is giving players a favorable start at Royal Birkdale, with warm temperatures, sunny skies and virtually no chance of rain setting the stage for Round 2 of the 154th Open Championship.

Another perfect day of weather at the Royal Birkdale according to AccuWeather. There will be a 0% chance of rain throughout the day. Along with clear skies, there will be a high of 76 and low of 56, making for an incredibly comfortable day. There will be gusts up to 22 mph, allowing for breeze across the greens.

The main concern at the Royal Birkdale is wind, which has greater chances for impact this weekend. In case it does rain, play will continue on unless conditions become dangerous.
