Drought stress continues in the Northern Plains. Very little precipitation is featured in the seven-day forecast. Some frost occurrences are also possible during the middle of next week.
RAIN FOR DELTA
The Delta has a new round of storms and locally heavy rain in store through the next few days. The rain will disrupt planting progress along with causing possible flooding.
STORMY SOUTHEAST FORECAST
The southeastern U.S. has prospects for severe thunderstorms in the region during the weekend. Heavy amounts are possible in the western and central sectors. Eastern sectors have had dryness develop and will see only light precipitation totals.
MINIMAL PRAIRIES MOISTURE
Canadian Prairies crop areas remain in the grip of drought. Precipitation during the next seven days is expected to be only scattered and light. This meager moisture offers little benefit.
ADDITIONAL CENTRAL BRAZIL DRYNESS
