U.S. Weather/Crop Progress
U.S. Drought Monitor Weather Forecast: Over the next 5-7 days, the impact of the winter storm over New England will subside and another system will make its way across the Ohio River valley. Precipitation is anticipated to be greatest over an area from Kentucky to New York. Another series of storms will impact the Pacific Northwest from Washington to California, possibly bringing several inches of precipitation to the area. Temperatures are expected to be warmer than normal over most areas west of the Missouri River valley, with departures of up to 8-10 degrees above normal possible. Cooler than normal temperatures will dominate the eastern seaboard, with departures of 6-9 degrees below normal possible over portions of the Southeast.
The 6-10 day outlooks show that the probability of below-normal temperatures will be greatest over California, the upper Midwest and into New England. The highest probabilities of above-normal temperatures are centered over Texas, with much of the South and Rocky Mountain regions anticipating warmer than normal temperatures. The highest probabilities of above-normal precipitation will be over California and Nevada and into the Ohio River Valley. Drier than normal conditions are anticipated over Texas and the Gulf Coast as well as the upper Midwest, where the greatest probabilities of below-normal precipitation exist.
