U.S. Weather/Crop Progress
For the upcoming five-day period (December 5-8), moderate precipitation (1-2 inches) is predicted from eastern sections of the southern Great Plains northeastward to the central Appalachians, while 0.5-1.0 inch amounts of precipitation are forecast across parts of the Four Corners region and northern Rockies. Anywhere from 3-7 inches of precipitation (liquid equivalent) is anticipated for the coastal ranges of the Pacific Northwest (including northwest California), as well as parts of the Sierras. For the ensuing period of December 9-13, above-median precipitation is favored for much of the West, southern Plains and Northeast, while modest probabilities for below-median precipitation are predicted for the northern and central Great Plains, and a large portion of the east-central CONUS.
