U.S. Weather/Crop Progress
U.S. Drought Monitor Weather Forecast: During the next several days, a parade of storms will continue to emerge from the western U.S. As a result, five-day precipitation totals could reach 1-2 inches from Oregon and northern California to the Intermountain West. Meanwhile, totals of 2-5 inches or more can be expected across the central and southern Plains and parts of the mid-South. In contrast, little-to-no rain will fall in the eastern U.S. and across the nation’s northern tier. Most of the country, excluding the Southeast and Northwest, will continue to experience cool weather.
The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for May 26 – 30 calls for likelihood of above-normal temperatures along the Pacific Coast, in the Northwest, and east of the Mississippi River. Meanwhile, cooler-than-normal conditions will cover the central and southern High Plains and parts of the Southwest. A wet pattern will persist nearly nationwide, with drier-than-normal weather likely limited to the northern Pacific Coast, southern Florida, and a small area near the Canadian border centered on northern North Dakota.
