Brownfield Ag Weather Today

Widely-scattered showers and thunderstorms across the central and eastern U.S. will become a little more focused, starting today from the central Plains into the middle Atlantic States before gradually shifting southward. Five-day rainfall totals should reach 1 to 4 inches or more in most areas from the Ohio and Potomac Valleys southward to the Gulf Coast. During the weekend and early next week, completely dry weather should return across the northern and central Plains and Midwest. Although Midwestern temperatures should remain below stressful thresholds for reproductive corn and soybeans, the northern High Plains will be subjected to a heat wave that should peak on Sunday with high temperatures broadly ranging from 100 to 110°F. Hot weather will also cover much of the western U.S., although monsoon-related shower activity should begin to increase across the Southwest during the weekend and early next week.
