While rain typically does not shy away from making an appearance during Masters Week at Augusta National Golf Club, the upcoming week is looking fairly clear – with the exception of the second round of tournament play on Friday.

The Weather Channel predicts a 50% chance of rain Friday, but sunny skies Saturday and Sunday with high temperatures holding steady at about 80 degrees.

Patrons should take precautions during the last two rounds of the tournament, with Saturday and Sunday's UV indexes reaching the "very high" category.

At that level, the Environmental Protection Agency notes a hat and sunscreen are a must.
