U.S. Weather/Crop Progress
U.S. Drought Monitor Weather Forecast: The NWS HPC Seven-Day Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (QPF) calls for moderate- to- heavy precipitation across the Pacific Northwest. Mountain snow is expected in the northern Sierras (CA), Cascades (OR/WA), Sawtooths (ID), Bitteroots (MT) and Tetons (WY). Modest precipitation totals (less than one and a half inches) are expected from eastern Texas extending northeast through the Mississippi Valley, Upper Midwest and Northeast. The ten-day outlooks call for a high probability of above-normal precipitation and below-normal temperatures across the Pacific Northwest, Northern California and Northern Rockies. In contrast, above-normal temperatures are expected over the southern half of the United States with the exception of southern California. Above-normal precipitation is also expected across the Great Plains, Midwest and South Florida.
