U.S. Weather/Crop Progress
U.S. Drought Monitor Weather Forecast: Through March 24, two low-pressure systems will track their way across the Deep South. The first system may bring upwards of 2 inches in the Southeast. The second system may bring 2 or more inches to eastern Texas, an, depending on the track, the Carolina Coast. To the north, more snow is expected in the Northeast as a clipper system interacts with a costal low. The heaviest snows may fall in Upstate New York and along the New England coastline. Elsewhere, two small Pacific storms will affect the Northwest during this period. For temperatures, the highest probabilities of below and above-normal values are in the Northeast and Southwest, respectively.
Looking further out through the end of the month, warmer-than-normal temperatures continue their dominance in the West, while a series of short-wave impulses support cooler-than-normal temperatures in the Northeast. The Climate Prediction Center precipitation probabilities are below average for the West, Southwest and Deep South. Above average probabilities are forecasted for the Northwest, Upper Plains and East Coast.
