Brownfield Ag Weather Today

An elevated wildfire threat persists today in parts of the Northeast, where the Jennings Creek Fire has charred some 5,000 acres of vegetation on either side of the New York-New Jersey border.  Meanwhile, a storm system developing over the Midwest will drift eastward, reaching the middle Atlantic Coast early Friday.  Generally beneficial showers will dampen the Midwest, mid-Atlantic, and Southeast, but the parched Northeast will remain mostly dry.  Farther west, a Pacific storm moving inland will produce widespread, late-week precipitation, briefly extending as far south as southern California.  Late in the weekend and early next week, a significant precipitation event may unfold across central and southern sections of the Rockies and Plains, as the Western storminess propagates eastward.  Elsewhere, forecasters continue to monitor potential tropical development over the Caribbean Sea, with possible future implications for some portion of the U.S. Gulf Coast.
