OMAHA (DTN) -- Limited rains in Argentina for the next seven days, as well as a mainly dry pattern for the Southern Plains winter wheat area are the key weather items for the commodity trade's attention Tuesday.

LIMITED ARGENTINA RAIN

The DTN ag weather forecast calls for the main corn and soybean areas of central Argentina to continue drier than normal for the next seven days with a warming trend. Showers may occur late in the week, but these look to be mostly in northern Cordoba and northern Santa Fe, bypassing key growing areas south of these locations. Prospects for both crops continue to decline under this pattern. The hottest readings later in the week would be in La Pampa and Buenos Aires.

VARIABLE BRAZIL PRECIPITATION

Another drier period for key growing areas of southern Brazil is expected during the next six to seven days or so. It will not be very warm, however. Crops, especially soybeans, would likely benefit from more rainfall in some locations. Increasing shower activity in northern growing areas may slow seasonal fieldwork, but the added moisture favors second-crop corn.

SOME RAIN CHANCES IN SOUTHERN PLAINS

Much of the region remains dry but wheat areas of north-central Texas and south Oklahoma may see some rainfall later in the five-day and early in the six- to 10-day period. During that extended outlook, precipitation is expected to be near to below normal west and northeast areas, and near to above normal for southeast locations. No damaging cold weather is indicated at this time.

SOME RISK OF SNOW IN NORTHERN PLAINS

There's some risk for snow, at times, in Montana and North Dakota during the next five days, with little elsewhere in the region. There's no major concerns for transport outside of the Montana/North Dakota area.

SOUTH AFRICA SHOWERS

South Africa crop areas will have scattered afternoon thundershowers that will tend to favor southern areas during the next one to three days while northern areas are drier and somewhat hotter. Later this week, northern areas may see some showers and lower temperatures. Conditions are variable across the region for maize. Some areas are likely doing well while some may be somewhat too dry and a little on the warm side.
