U.S. Weather/Crop Progress


U.S. Drought Monitor Weather Forecast: Precipitation is expected to migrate from the Gulf Coast into the Midwest in the coming days. The Pacific Northwest is likely to see precipitation each day. The rest of the country is expected to remain dry. Warmer-than-normal temperatures are expected over most of the contiguous U.S. during the same time. The Pacific Northwest is the only exception to this with below-normal temperatures expected throughout the period.

The NWS 10-day outlooks call for normal to warm conditions over the U.S. with the exception of the northern West, which should experience below-normal temperatures. Precipitation during that timeframe is expected to be normal to above-normal across the country with the exception of the far West.
