2026 U.S. Open weather forecast: Wind to build through week at Shinnecock Hills

As the 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club approaches, the early-week forecast is shaping up well for a spectacular championship. According to the USGA:

"There could be some low clouds or a period of fog after the rain early Monday, otherwise northwest winds drive out the humidity and give us another mostly sunny looking day with temps a couple degrees lower than today. High pressure provides more beautiful weather Tuesday with less wind, comfortable temps and low humidity. Wednesday is not looking too bad despite there being a meager chance for some raindrops, then the wind reaches its peak Thursday with gusts surpassing 30 mph as the wind takes center stage through the weekend."
