In case you haven’t heard, Hurricane Earl is heading straight towards New England, but as of now, the Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, MA, will be played on Thursday. Officials moved up tee times by 40 minutes to 7:00am, hoping to get as much golf in as possible before the storms move in.
“In a nutshell for us, it still looks okay here tomorrow morning,” said meteorologist Stewart Williams. “I think once we get to the early afternoon time frame, we’ll definitely start getting some of the outer bands of Earl, and so we’ll get some showers and some brief, gusty winds at that point. And then once I think we get to the late afternoon, especially the evening hours, heavier rain will be likely and the winds will definitely increase, late afternoon, 20 to 30 with some higher gusts, and I think in the evening it will be 30 to 40 with gusts probably 45 to 50.”
