U.S. Weather/Crop Progress
U.S. Drought Monitor Weather Forecast: Wet weather across parts of the East will contrast with mostly dry weather elsewhere. Welcomed showers falling across the Northeast as of Wednesday, October 25, will be followed by a potentially soaking rainfall over the weekend. Forecast guidance suggests 7-day rainfall could top 5 inches across much of New England, while somewhat lesser amounts (1-3″) fall from the central Appalachians into the Mid-Atlantic States. Rain and snow will accompany a storm system in the Great Lakes, while showers along a trailing cold front sweep across the interior Southeast. Otherwise, mostly dry weather is expected across the central and western U.S. The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for October 31-November 4 calls for near- to below-normal precipitation across much of the nation, with wetter-than-normal weather confined to the nation’s northern tier save for the Northwest. Colder conditions are expected from the Plains to the Appalachians and Gulf Coast, while above-normal temperatures prevail in New England and the central and southern Pacific Coast into southern Texas.
