Brownfield Ag Weather Today

A complex U.S. weather pattern will feature a plume of moisture extending northward from the Gulf Coast and a slow-moving storm system crossing the West. The interaction between the moisture plume and the Western storm will lead to drought-easing precipitation (locally 1 to 3 inches) across northern sections of the Rockies and Plains. Some of the Northern precipitation will fall as late-season snow. Several parts of the western U.S., including the Great Basin, Northwest, and central and southern Rockies, will receive beneficial but generally light precipitation, while much of California and the Desert Southwest will remain dry. Farther east, additional heavy showers in the western half of the Gulf Coast region could aggravate the flood situation. In contrast, little or no rain will fall during the next 5 days in the Ohio Valley and the Southeast. Near- or above-normal temperatures will accompany the Southeastern dryness, while cool conditions will linger across the northern High Plains and much of the West.
