Brownfield Ag Weather Today

Lingering unsettled weather in the Midwest and East will wind down over the next couple of days.  Meanwhile, the focus for stormy weather will return to the West, where a powerful Pacific cold front will move ashore Thursday, followed by a second cold front during the weekend.  As a result, 5-day precipitation totals in northern, central, and coastal California could reach 4 to 10 inches or more, with flash flooding and debris flows possible, especially on burn-scarred hillsides.  However, drought-easing snow will continue to accumulate in the Sierra Nevada.  Although the cold fronts will weaken after pushing inland, some precipitation will reach the Great Basin and Intermountain West.  In contrast, dry weather will prevail during the next 5 days across much of the nation’s mid-section, including the Great Plains.
