In the U.S., thundershowers in the past day favored southeast MO, central/southern IL, IN, northern OH, southern MI, north-central/western KY, western TN, and far northern AR in the past day. Rain totals of locally up to 5” were noted, with the heaviest amounts in southeast IL, central/northeast IN, northwest OH, far southeast MO, and near the KY/IN border. Light showers will scatter across the upper Midwest into Friday and again late Sunday/Monday, with intermittent showers otherwise favoring the southwest corner of the Midwest next week. The most widespread showers will occur in the 11 to 15 day, favoring the northern/eastern Midwest. However, none of the activity in the next 2 weeks appears particularly heavy, and recent wet spots in parts of IN, IL, northern MO, and southern IA will ease during the rest of this month. Delta showers will diminish after the next 2 days, with the Southeast seeing a needed break in wet sections of NC next week. Overall, harvest interruptions and wetness concerns for maturing corn/soy should be minor, with only a slight upturn in showers in the 16 to 30 day for the Delta/Southeast. Cold air in the next 2 nights is still expected to bring some frost (mainly southeast MN and parts of far northern IA on Saturday morning), but freeze damage risks remain very low. Drier weather in the next 2 weeks across the spring wheat areas will aid spring wheat/canola harvest, particularly as warmer temperatures arrive in the 6 to 15 day. Recent snow in west-central Alberta will melt too quickly for notable quality or damage concerns, and frost being noted in the western Canadian Prairies is occurring very close to normal first frost dates for the region. Australia Wheat May See Dryness Redevelop in Parts of Eastern Belt. Showers aid early jointing wheat in the southeast over the next week. Frost in that area could lead to burn back but only isolated damage. Western areas do not have another rain chance until late in the 6 to 10 day, which is needed since moisture is limited. Dryness is most likely in the northeast 15% of the belt, as moisture is lacking for early heading. |
