U.S. Weather/Crop Progress
U.S. Drought Monitor Weather Forecast: During the upcoming 5-day period (November 2-6), a potent Pacific storm should drop decent precipitation (1-5 inches) on most of the Northwest, southward into central California and the Sierra Nevada, and eastward into parts of the central and northern Rockies. Light to moderate precipitation is expected in the lower Mississippi Valley northeastward into the eastern Great Lakes region and western New England. Little or no precipitation should occur in the Southwest, central and southern Plains, and the Southeast. 5-day temperatures will average well above-normal across most of the lower 48 States except for subnormal readings in the Far West and across the northern thirds of the Rockies and Plains and the upper Midwest. Well below-normal temperatures are expected in Montana and North Dakota.
During the 6- to 10-day period (November 7-11), odds favor above-median precipitation along the Pacific Northwest Coast, from the middle Mississippi and Ohio Valleys eastward into the Northeast. Probabilities for below median precipitation are greatest in the Great Basin, northern Rockies and Plains, upper Midwest, and along the Gulf Coast States. Above-normal temperatures are likely from the Four Corners region eastward to the southern and middle Atlantic regions, while a tilt toward subnormal temperatures were found in the Far West and across the northern thirds of the Rockies, Plains, and Midwest.
