US Open Golf Tournament Weather Forecast: Rain, Storm Chances Increase At Oakmont Country Club This Weekend
The 125th U.S. Open outside of Pittsburgh at Oakmont Country Club will see a more unsettled weather pattern as we head into the weekend that will bring an increased risk of showers and thunderstorms. Oakmont Country Club is hosting the tournament for a record 10th time this year, with the last one in 2016 when Dustin Johnson won. 156 players will take part in the four-day event from Thursday through Sunday, with a cut that reduces the field after Friday. The challenging course is known for its iconic "church pews" bunker, as seen in the bottom-middle of the photo above between holes 3 and 4. Saturday: The threat of rain increases as surging moisture out of the west-southwest combines with a front lingering nearby. This could be from a combination of rain showers ongoing in the morning followed by possible scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. Localized heavy rain and lightning are both possibilities, which means there could be interruptions to play. Attendees will want to take a poncho and/or umbrella just in case. Sunday: The final round will have a lingering threat of showers and thunderstorms. The morning is likely to be dry, but the afternoon could have some hit-or-miss scattered showers and storms.

This Sunrise-Inspired Swimsuit Will Be Your New Favorite Summer Essential
Atmosphere by The Weather Channel curates products and services for all seasons. If you buy something from one of our links, we may earn a commission. Ah, summer's eternal water debate. Beach waves, pool plunges, or lake lounging—which claims your heart? As a former Floridian, you might expect me to wave the beach flag proudly – and yes, watching my puppies frolic on dog-friendly beaches and paddling happily in the surf was pure joy. But confession time: I've often forgone those sandy shores for the cool clarity of a pool. The lack of sand in unmentionable places is an added bonus. Lake life? I'm practically a tourist with just one visit under my belt. I suspect lakes secretly hold the crown for water sports, but I'll leave that verdict to the wakeboard warriors. Whatever your water worship style, summer beckons with its warm embrace, golden rays (slathered in SPF 50 sunscreen, naturally), and the perfect excuse to rock swimwear that turns heads for all the right reasons. With vacation plans filling my calendar, my swimsuit hunt reached Olympic-level intensity this season. After a parade of packages and returns, I've finally curated my water-ready wardrobe. From sunrise-inspired one-pieces that pop against any backdrop to playfully bold polka dots, here are the summer essentials making waves in my collection. Shop Our Swimsuit Favorites At Amazon Price: $36.99 at Amazon Color options: 38 Shop It: Amazon What we like: Ruched high-cut cheeky one-piece Drawstrings for customizable fit Removable padding, double-layered lining Adjustable spaghetti shoulder straps What we don't: Circular pads may be visible in lighter colors I fell in love with the Viottiset Ruched One Piece Swimsuit as soon as I slid the straps over my shoulders. Featuring an ombre color palette of vivid purple, hot orange and fluorescent yellow, this is a versatile swimsuit that allows you to customize your spice level. Want to flash a little cheek and show off your hips? Pull the drawstrings just a little tighter and watch it rise. Or tug the strings down for a more modest covering, and you'll feel right at home with the kiddos splashing in the water. While it claims tummy control, I'll be honest, I think it's more about concealing than compressing. The ruching adds a little extra fabric around the belly, but there's no major flattening or tightening built into the swimsuit. With the adjustable spaghetti straps it can fit a number of height ranges comfortably as well. My purchase: I fluctuate between a small and medium sizing, and I purchased a small and it fits perfectly. I average 120-125 pounds, 34B bust, 5'3" tall, and have a pear shape figure. It's a cheeky fit as designed but can be modified with the drawstrings. The bust coverage was good and there's a banded lining inside for a little extra support - though not as much as a bra or swimsuit with underwire. The only drawback is the removable padding in the bust - they use the white circular pads that you can see in some of the lighter fabric options. Consider buying a separate waterproof insert that matches your skin tone. Price: $19.99 at Amazon Color options: 35 Shop It: Amazon What we like: Stretchy, lightweight fabric Pockets Adjustable straps What we don't: Very loose and somewhat shapeless cut I really loved the color and array of options of this Supnier Maxi Dress, and I purchased the Gradient Navy thanks to the gorgeous sunset hues. It has 4.4-stars and over 14,000 company ratings. I did appreciate the flowy, slick feeling of the dress; it was soft, and the color was lovely. The fabric was thin, so I had planned to use it as a swimsuit cover rather than a dress I would wear going out. Unfortunately, it was quite large and so it veered towards shapeless on my body type. And since I'm under 5'3' tall, it was long. I tested out tying a knot near the bottom of the dress as seen in some of the sample images, but it just made it awkward to walk. Price: $31.99 at Amazon Color options: 25 Shop It: Amazon What we like: One piece that functions as a bikini Adjustable spaghetti strap High waist (it falls right under the belly button) Removable pads, double-layered lining What we don't: It's not super stretchy, so sizing is important I'm taking this polka dotted Meyeeka lace-up swimsuit with me on vacation as well this summer, and I can't wait. It's an fascinating combination of bikini and one-piece swimsuit, with a little belly and back exposed. I purchased a medium which fit snugly, I definitely could not have sized down with this swimsuit. The top has a lace-up lattice-style back, so you can tighten or loosen as needed. These have a high-waisted cheeky bottom, so if you don't like a little bit of your butt to be exposed, you may want to pass on these. There is also a great assortment of color options. The fabric isn't as stretchy as other swimsuits – so while you swim, you may not see the same waterlogged sagging as other brands, but it also means it will run a little tighter. I suggest sizing up, especially if you're in between sizes or if you have a larger bust size. Price: $30.99 at Amazon Color options: 36 Shop It: Amazon What we like: Two-piece mix-and-match tankini Modest high-waisted ruched bottom Double-layered ruffled top Removable padding Adjustable straps What we don't: Top may feel slightly over-padded for small busts I purchased this in the red top and polka dot bottom combination, but I absolutely love the Red Palm sunset colors in this ruffled tank high-waisted bikini set. It's comfortable, flattering for most body types, and you won't feel exposed as you sunbathe in your lounge chair. The ruched bottoms offer some tummy control, and the modest cut won't have you discretely tugging it as you stand up. The ruffled top comes down over my belly button and flutters around the waistline of the bottoms, offering a little extra coverage while splashing in the sun. The only downside is that the plain bottoms may sometimes have that 'diaper' appearance, especially if they are slightly too big. I wish you could mix and match the top and bottom sizes in these sets. Price: $29.99, was $42.99 at Amazon Color options: 13 Shop It: Amazon What we like: Ruched tummy control one-piece Full coverage swim bottom Metal buckle back strap Double-lined material Removable padding Adjustable straps What we don't: Needs more color options The Charmo One-Piece swimsuit is one of my go-to favorites. I admittedly bought it last season (in blue) and it's comfortable, flattering, and easy to slip on. There's no crazy straps that go every way but the right way. Overall, it's a traditionally beautiful and comfortable one-piece swimsuit that is flattering for all kinds of body types. I have a pear-shaped body type, and some of the tummy control ruched fabric provides a flattering mirage that tightens everything together. The only thing I wish this swimsuit offered was more colors and pattern options. The solids are a 'solid' choice, but if there were a few more fun fluorescent colors, I'd be even happier with this purchase.

Get ‘Arctic-Level Cooling' With This Portable Air Conditioner
Atmosphere by The Weather Channel curates products and services for all seasons. If you buy something from one of our links, we may earn a commission. It's currently 82 degrees, sunny and so humid I can feel the air settle against my skin like a weighted blanket. Tack on trying to achieve my 'summer body' that means visits to the gym and barn to see my pony, and I can't seem to stay cool. It's still early June, and that means the current temperatures are only the harbinger of summer heat and humidity. If you're looking to cool down a hot room, garage or pet area, a portable air conditioner could be a better investment option versus a standing fan. It ultimately depends on your budget, venting options, area size and chilling requirements. So if you're new to portable air conditioners, we highly recommend checking out our complete beginner's buying guide, which includes some helpful tips on proper BTU size, ventilation kits and some top picks of 2025. But if you already know what you're looking for, and you just want to snag a unit with a 4.6-star rating while it's on sale, look no further. Dreo, a popular home brand that also produces humidifiers, desk fans and space heaters, is now offering a limited time deal on their portable air conditioners. Price: $389.98, was $439.99 - 11% off at Amazon (white); $389.99 at Amazon (black) ASHRAE: 8,000 BTU | SACC: ~5,000 BTU | Room Size: Up to 150 sq. ft. | Weight: 55 lbs. | Noise: 45 dBA Shop It: Amazon (White Portable AC Unit)Shop It: Amazon (Black Portable AC Unit) Features: 3-in-1: Cooling, fan and dehumidifier Works with app, Google and Alexa Installation kit fits horizontal and vertical window combinations Temperature between 61-86 degrees 4 fan levels, 24 hour timer, remote control LED display and control panel Company claims drainage-free system with self evaporating patented sensors and pump in up to 90% humidity If you don't want to deal with drainage hassles, and you're looking for a relatively quiet portable air conditioner, you'll want to take a peek at this Dreo 8,000 BTU Air Conditioner. With smart home features like app controls and timers, to modifiable installation kits, this could be an easy pick especially while on sale. According to the company, it contains a patented drainage-free system, which includes sensors and pumps that will channel excess water to the evaporator in up to 90% humidity. There are also noise reduction compressors and air ducts to reduce the decibel level. 'Love it!' exclaims one reviewer, saying 'This is the absolute coolest air conditioner I've ever used…I went with a less expensive model in a different brand, it didn't work as it should and [I] had to send it back. Since it was loud and I had to empty my water bucket twice a day, I decided to up my game and splurged little more and bought this.' They went on to mention that installation was easy - the only thing they'd change is some of the color options. Another reviewer who lives in Arizona says, 'I was worried about all the horror stories people report using these types of units. Turns out it just works, and works pretty well. We have about a 200 sq. f.t master bedroom and it takes about two to three hours to get it down to 72 degrees.' They mentioned they did not need to empty water in a month just using the AC feature. One more says 'it gets the job done', and that it cools the room fast and stays cool consistently. The most common complaints were around the power size - some felt like the lower BTU options are just not enough power to cool large room sizes. A few felt it was a little expensive, while another review noted it was tough on their power bill. If you don't necessarily care about snagging an AC at the lowest price point, there is a 10,000 BTU and 14,000 BTU option from Dreo that can power those larger room sizes.

US Open Golf Tournament Weather Forecast: Hot Start, Then Storm Chances Increase At Oakmont Country Club
The 125th U.S. Open is taking place this week outside of Pittsburgh at Oakmont Country Club, and after a dry, hot start, shower and storm chances could increase for the weekend. Oakmont Country Club is hosting the tournament for a record 10th time this year, with the last one in 2016 when Dustin Johnson won. 156 players will take part in the four-day event from Thursday through Sunday, with a cut that reduces the field after Friday. The challenging course is known for its iconic "church pews" bunker, as seen in the bottom-middle of the photo above between holes 3 and 4. Thursday: This will be the hottest day of the tournament with afternoon players seeing a high in the mid-to-upper 80s. That's several degrees above Pittsburgh's average high of 79 degrees. No rain is expected. Friday: The high temperature will tick down closer to average. We are also watching a cold front coming into Pennsylvania that will eventually stall, but forecast models are at odds over how much moisture it will contain on Friday. For now, there is a low chance of a hit-or-miss afternoon shower or thunderstorm. Saturday: Surging moisture out of the west-southwest combined with a front lingering nearby will increase the risk of showers and storms, particularly in the afternoon hours. Localized heavy rain and lightning are both possibilities, which means there could be interruptions to play. Attendees will want to take a poncho and/or umbrella just in case. Sunday: The final round has a similar forecast to Saturday and hinges on where the stalled front sets up. Right now, the chance of showers and storms is 50% or greater, but that could trend higher or lower since forecast model guidance is not in good agreement, so check back for updates.
