Brownfield Ag Weather Today

A low-pressure system currently crossing the upper Mississippi Valley will drift northeastward and weaken.  However, additional unsettled weather emerging from the western U.S. will maintain stormy weather across the nation’s midsection.  Notably, a storm system should arrive on the central Plains around mid-week, with the storm’s trailing cold front sweeping across the Mississippi Valley on Friday and into the East by Saturday.  Severe thunderstorms, including damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes, will remain a threat, mainly from the Plains into the Mississippi Valley.  Five-day rainfall totals should reach 1 to 3 inches or more across large sections of the eastern Plains, mid-South, and Midwest.  In contrast, little or no rain will fall through week’s end in the southern Atlantic States and from California to the southern High Plains.
