WEATHER
EVENTS AND FEATURES TO WATCH

  • Not
    much precipitation occurred in the U.S. Midwest Monday and temperatures were more seasonable than they were during the early weekend
  • U.S.
    Northern Plains, Midwest, Delta and southeastern states should see alternating periods of rain and sunshine during the next ten days to two weeks
    • The
      volume of rain may be locally great, but much of it will be near normal or a little lighter than usual
      • The
        moisture will still prove to be timely and supportive of crop development
    • Low
      soil moisture in parts of the Midwest will be closely monitored during this two week forecast because of concern of returning dryness later in the summer
      • This
        is an excellent opportunity period for relief to those areas that have dried out most significantly in the past few weeks
  • U.S.
    Midwest temperatures will be seasonable during the coming week with highs mostly in the 80s Fahrenheit and a few upper 70s in the north and a few lower 90s in the south
    • Hotter
      temperatures will occur briefly in the Plains Wednesday with widespread 90s likely and some of the heat may get into the far western Corn Belt briefly Wednesday and Thursday before abating later in the week
    • Additional
      bouts of heat will occur in the Great Plains next week, but most of that should stay to the west of the Mississippi River keeping eastern Midwest crop areas free of strong drying rates
  • U.S.
    Delta and southeastern states will experience periodic showers and thunderstorms in the next two weeks
    • Some
      improved topsoil moisture is expected and a reduction in crop stress will be possible for some areas
  • Tropical
    low pressure center off the Texas coast during mid-week this week will eventually bring heavy rainfall to a part of the Texas Coast
    • ECMWF
      takes the disturbance and moves it to the Delta during the weekend and early part of next week resulting in enhanced rainfall – confidence is low
    • GFS
      model takes this disturbance to Edwards Plateau and southern parts of West Texas this weekend  – this is not likely to verify
    • Regardless
      of which solution verifies there will be some significant rain along the middle and upper Texas coast over the second half of this week offering some relief to parts of the region
  • Northern
    U.S. Plains and Canada’s Prairies will experience a good mix of rain and sunshine and seasonable temperatures during the next two weeks
    • Crop
      development should advance relatively well
  • Potential
    Tropical Depression Two is expected to become a tropical storm today and then move along the Venezuela coast Wednesday and Thursday before reaching Nicaragua late this week and during the weekend
    • The
      storm was located 330 miles east of Trinidad at 0800 EDT today moving westerly at 23 mph and producing wind speeds to 40 mph
    • The
      storm has potential  to produce heavy rain in Central America and it will be closely monitored
  • Europe
    weather is expected to be active from eastern France to Germany and Poland over the coming week to ten days
    • Net
      drying is expected in the west half of France, despite some showers
    • Spain,
      Portugal, Peninsular Italy and portions of the Balkan Countries will also experience net drying, despite a few showers
  • Temperatures
    in eastern Europe remained quite warm Monday with many highs in the 80s and lower 90s Fahrenheit
    • The
      heat helped to accelerate drying in parts of the region which raises the need for rain in some areas
  • Eastern
    Europe temperatures will be well above normal in this first week of the outlook which may exacerbate net drying in the areas that do not get much rain
    • Far
      western Europe may be just slightly cooler biased
    • Second
      week temperatures will be near normal in the north and warmer than usual in the south
  • Europe
    rainfall Monday was restricted to Germany, eastern France and western parts of both Czech Republic and Poland
    • That
      moisture and the rain that occurred late last week should have started a notable improving trend in topsoil moisture especially in France and parts of Germany
    • Parts
      of eastern Europe experienced net drying
  • Cool
    temperatures continued Monday in Russia’s eastern New Lands with highs in the 50s and lows today in the upper 30s and 40s Fahrenheit
  • Some
    cooling reached into northern Kazakhstan Monday after hot conditions occurred briefly during the weekend
    • The
      relief was welcome
  • Some
    frosty temperatures “may” evolve this week in eastern Russia’s New Lands, but too much wind and cloudiness is expected to bring on a serious risk of crop damage
  • Western
    CIS weather will be favorably mixed with sunshine and rain during the next two weeks
    • Temperatures
      will be warmer than usual in this first week of the outlook
    • The
      warmer weather will shift into the eastern New Lands during the second week of the forecast as rain increases and cooling begins in the west
  • Russia’s
    Southern Region away from the Black Sea coast and the Georgia border will continue to dry out along with eastern Ukraine
    • These
      areas will need greater rain and sooner rather than later because the ground is already dry
    • Temperatures
      will be mild to cool for a little while which will help to conserve soil moisture
    • Warmer
      temperatures will occur this weekend into next week that may exacerbate the dryness and raise the need for significant moisture
  • The
    bottom line for the CIS is mostly good, but dryness will remain in parts of Russia’s Southern Region (away from the Georgia Border and away from the Black Sea coast) as well as eastern Ukraine. These areas will need greater rain
  • China’s
    North China Plain received some needed rain in recent days and it will get some additional needed rain later this week and next week offering additional relief from previous dryness.
  • Southern
    China’s weather has been improving since torrential rain ended last week, but a tropical cyclone evolving west of Luzon Island, Philippines may bring excessive rain to Guangdong, Fujian and neighboring areas during the weekend and early next week
    • Confidence
      in the tropical cyclone’s movement is very low and a close watch on the system is warranted
    • Southern
      China weather will resume a more normal distribution of rain and sunshine next week after the tropical cyclone passes
  • Northeastern
    China will continue to see frequent rainfall during the next ten days maintaining wet field conditions in some areas
  • China’s
    Xinjiang province continues to experience relatively good weather
    • A

      • Some
        cooler biased conditions may briefly evolve later this week and into the weekend
  • Queensland
    and parts of New South Wales, Australia will get some rain late this week and into the weekend causing a delay to winter planting of wheat, barley and some canola, but the moisture should be good for crops that have already been planted
  • Southern
    Australia weather will remain favorable for wheat, barley and canola planting and emergence during the next couple of weeks
  • India’s
    monsoonal rainfall is expected to continue improving over the next couple of weeks
    • Sufficient
      rain is expected over the next two weeks to bolster soil moisture in many important summer grain, oilseed and cotton areas throughout the central, north and eastern parts of the nation
      • Rain
        in the northwest will be slowest in coming, but rain is possible during the weekend and especially next week
  • Ontario
    and Quebec, Canada weather should be favorably mixed over the next two weeks
    • A
      little drier and warmer bias would be most welcome and that is exactly what is expected
  • South
    Korea rice areas will get a few periods of rain during the next ten days bringing needed relief  after weeks of dryness
    • Some
      relief has already begun, but much more rain is needed
  • A
    tropical cyclone may evolve to the west of the Philippines during mid-week this week before shifting north into southern China
    • The
      storm will produce excessive rain over much of western and northern Luzon Island and a few neighboring areas
    • The
      storm could also produce exorbitant amounts of rain in Taiwan as well
      • Confidence
        in the storm’s movement is low and it should be closely monitored
  • A
    second tropical cyclone will form east of Taiwan during mid- to late week that could bring heavy rain to South Korea and western Japan during the weekend and early  next week
  • Central
    Argentina will receive some rain today, but only a small part of the nation’s winter crops will benefit
    • Areas
      from central Cordoba to northern Buenos Aires and Entre Rios will be most impacted
    • Follow
      up moisture will be extremely important
    • Western

    • All
      wheat areas in the nation would benefit from rain
    • La
      Pampa, San Luis and central and southwestern parts of Buenos Aires will not be impacted by this event
    • Drier
      biased conditions are expected to resume again after the early week rain event passes
  • Far
    southern Brazil will receive additional waves of light rain over the next couple of weeks
    • Drying
