OMAHA (DTN) -- Favorable weather for the Midwest, beneficial rain for the Southern Plains, and additional rain for the Northern Plains, are the key weather items for the commodity trade's attention Tuesday.

MOSTLY FAVORABLE WEATHER FOR MIDWEST

The DTN ag weather forecast calls for the Midwest to have favorable weather for maturing corn and soybeans. There will be some disruptions to any early harvest in the western Midwest; however, rainfall recharges soil moisture. No damaging cold weather is expected during the next seven days.

TROPICAL UPDATE

Hurricane Jose is forecast to pass well offshore of the Delmarva Peninsula later today, pass well to the east of the New Jersey coast on Wednesday, and pass offshore of southeastern Massachusetts by Thursday.

Maria is now a Category 4 hurricane. Some fluctuations in intensity are likely during the next day or two, but Maria is forecast to remain an extremely dangerous Category 4 or 5 hurricane while it approaches the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

SOUTHEAST U.S. 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.

BENEFICIAL SOUTHERN PLAINS RAIN

In the Southern Plains, some beneficial rainfall for planting and emergence of winter wheat is expected during the next seven days.

HOT IN WEST TEXAS

Hot weather favors the developing crop in west Texas.

DRIER, WARMER FOR DELTA

Drier, warmer weather lasting at least the next seven days in the Delta region will help improve the condition of mature crops and improve conditions for the harvest.

COOL, RAIN FOR NORTHERN PLAINS

In the Northern Plains, conditions are favorable for filling and maturing corn and soybeans at this time. Rainfall disrupts the early harvest but recharges soil moisture. Some frost and light freeze conditions are possible early next week. However, little significant crop damage is expected.

RAIN NEEDED IN BRAZIL

Rain is needed to initiate soybean planting in the northern Mato Grosso. Dry weather is expected during the next seven days, but some rain may develop beyond that.

AUSTRALIA DRYNESS

Dry weather increases stress on developing wheat in northeast Australia. Little rainfall is expected in this region during the next five days.
