U.S. Weather/Crop Progress
U.S. Drought Monitor Weather Forecast: The NWS HPC Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (QPF) calls for a frontal system to bring an inch or more of precipitation across much of the Southwest, and from the southern Plains (east Texas and southeast Oklahoma), across the Southeast, and to the Mid-Atlantic through November 27. Little-to-no precipitation is forecast for the Pacific Northwest to the northern Plains. Temperatures will be below-normal as the front moves across the country.
The four-to-eight day and six-to-12 day outlooks project above-normal temperatures across much of the West, and below-normal temperatures in the Southwest and most of the country east of the Rockies, as a circulation pattern sets up consisting of a warm ridge in the west and cold trough in the east. Drier-than-normal conditions are expected for much of the West to the Ohio Valley, with wetter-than-normal conditions across the Gulf of Mexico coast and Atlantic seaboard.
