Rain Makes Grains Live crop weather trends and statistics…the GFS held a much too cool and wet pattern across most of the primary corn belt the next 10-days as late season weather systems track through the Midwest with lows of 20s to lower 40s, highs of 40s to 60s, but also with bouts of heavy rains, accumulating to several inches over the next 10-days. However, a warmer pattern is favored May 8-12 and where soil temperatures will quickly rise as warmer and drier upper high pressure builds in.
For the Winter Wheat belt, temperatures will be relatively seasonal with highs of 60s to 80s besides locally 50s. However, the storm track is favorable for numerous weather systems to bring showers and thunderstorms over the next two weeks and where 0.50″ to 2.5″ totals are expected. However, the drought stricken western fields are likely yet again to miss out on the heaviest rains and ending up on the lower end ranges barring changes.
