U.S. Weather/Crop Progress
U.S. Drought Monitor Weather Forecast: The NWS WPC Seven-Day Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (QPF) calls for generally dry conditions across most of the western U.S. with the exception of some modest accumulation (1-2 inches) in northern portions of the Great Basin, northern Rockies and North Cascades. In contrast, the central and northern Plains and western portions of the Midwest are forecasted to receive 1-3 inches while heavy precipitation is forecasted in southern Georgia and Florida with totals in the 3-7 inch range.
The CPC 10-day outlooks call for a high probability of above-normal temperatures east of the Rockies as well as along the West Coast while most of the interior West will be below normal. Across the West (with the exception of extreme southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico), there’s a high probability of below-normal precipitation while the central and northern Plains, western portions of the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast have a high probability of above-average precipitation.
