A brief but potent shot of cold air will come sweeping down through the U.S. later this week. It will likely bring widespread frosts and freezes to the Corn Belt, which may damage corn and soybeans that have yet to reach maturity.

Ogallala Aquifer water ran out in some areas of the southwestern Plains during late summer due to extreme drought and high irrigation demand.

Hurricane Ian is likely to produce widespread heavy rains and potential flooding for Southeastern U.S. farmers. Producers with citrus groves in Florida, cottonfields in Georgia, and mature corn stands in North Carolina are taking note of the storm's track through their...

Dryness boosted by La Nina continues to deny drought recovery in much of the lower 48 states this fall season.

A stretch of mostly good weather continues for harvesting corn and soybeans. It is more detrimental for winter wheat planting and establishment, especially in the southwestern Plains.

La Nina-enhanced dryness is dragging even drought-tolerant crop yields down.

Heat and dryness are sapping soil moisture for winter wheat planting and establishment in the southwestern Plains. Models keep that pattern going through early next week, but there is a chance for a better rainfall event mid-late next week.

Late-summer dryness in Nebraska is an example of how crops, pastures and hay supplies are withering.

After a record-long period of tropical-free conditions in the Atlantic Ocean, two tropical storms have developed and more disturbances are coming off the coast of Africa. Meanwhile, the Eastern Pacific has had a fair number of systems so far this season. Hurricane Kay off the...

Much of Texas received beneficial rains in August, but the remainder of the Southern Plains remained under the influence of La Nina-enhanced drought.

A relatively persistent ridge of high pressure should dominate the country's growing regions during September. Hot and dry weather throughout the month will make good early harvest weather but be detrimental to crops with some filling yet to do. However, the tropics could...

Severe thunderstorms developed across the eastern Midwest on Aug. 29 in several clusters. Storm damage from the winds may have affected maturing corn and soybeans.

Hot and dry weather from mid-June to early August has indeed left its mark on U.S. late-season crop prospects.

Derechos are strong thunderstorms associated with severe winds that can pose hazards to maturing crops, but these storms require specific atmospheric conditions to form. During the summer, three notable derechos hit portions of the Corn Belt, with some of the derechos...

A third straight winter of cool Pacific equator waters brings an outlook for dry conditions in the Southern Plains and a snowy prospect over the northern tier of the contiguous U.S.

The background conditions for creating tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Basin are becoming increasingly more favorable as we get into the peak season, even though it has been a rather quiet year so far. Areas in the South craving more rainfall may be lucky enough to get some...

Southern Plains wheat areas have minimal drought relief indicated in the fall forecast.

Consistency has been hard to come by with regards to weather this growing season, except where drought has formed and been stagnant in the Central and Southern Plains. Yield estimates from the DTN Digital Yield Tour, powered by Gro Intelligence, are showing that...
