Masters 2024 weather updates: Forecast calls for 59% chance of rain on Tuesday

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.
