OMAHA (DTN) -- Continuing dryness in Argentina, favorable conditions in Brazil, and a dry pattern in the Southern Plains are the key weather items for the commodity trade's attention Tuesday.

MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IN MIDWEST, NORTHERN PLAINS

The DTN ag weather forecast calls for moderate to heavy snow from Monday in the north and western Midwest and some of the Northern Plains to continue to affect transportation. Six to 12 inches of snow fell with this system, although localized areas got 14 to 18 inches. There is no significant cold weather indicated during the next seven days.

In days eight to 15 in the outlook, there appears to be much colder weather for the U.S. and Canada and bears watching.

WARMER, DRIER PATTERN IN ARGENTINA

In Argentina, limited rainfall and near-to-above-normal temperatures decrease soil moisture and increase stress on developing corn and soybeans, especially pollinating corn at this time. This situation bears watching. The next chance of any beneficial rain will be on Saturday; however, this is uncertain.

FAVORABLE BRAZIL CONDITIONS

Favorable conditions are seen for developing soybeans in southern Brazil. Drier weather in central Brazil favors maturing soybeans and the early harvest. However, it does deplete soil moisture for filling soybeans. Rainfall is expected to increase from Friday to Monday.

NO PRECIPITATION FOR SOUTHERN PLAINS

Mostly dry weather continues for the Southern Plains with no significant precipitation in sight. No damaging cold weather is indicated during the next seven days.

RAIN EXPECTED FOR SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa is expecting some beneficial rain during the next seven days for its maize crop.
