Favorable Midwest Conditions, Rain for Plains

There will be some disruptions to any early harvest in the western Midwest; however, rainfall recharges soil moisture. Favorable harvest weather in seen for the eastern Midwest. No damaging cold weather is expected during the next seven days.
TROPICAL UPDATE
Hurricane Jose will produce dangerous surf and rip currents along the east coast of the United States. Hurricane Maria is expected to become a major hurricane during the next 24 hours as it heads for the Leeward Islands.
SOUTHEAST US CONTINUES TO IMPROVE
The Southeast looks to see only a few light showers with locally heavier amounts during the next seven days, along with warmer weather. This should allow crops hit by rain and wind associated with Hurricane Irma to improve.
