Organizers of the Wichita Open are keeping a close eye on the forecast as periods of rain and rising temperatures are expected to impact this year's tournament at Crestview Country Club.
The concerns come after severe weather disrupted last year's event, prompting tournament officials to strengthen their plans for handling dangerous conditions. Staff members have reviewed emergency procedures and are prepared to respond quickly if storms develop.
While forecasts call for a mix of showers, thunderstorms, and hot weather during the tournament, organizers say they are ready to prioritize the safety of players, volunteers, and spectators. They encourage attendees to stay aware of changing weather conditions and follow instructions if delays or evacuations become necessary.
Despite the uncertain forecast, tournament officials remain optimistic the event will proceed successfully with contingency plans in place should Mother Nature create challenges once again.
