Commodities Market Impact Weather
More Rainfall Across South-Central US
MINNEAPOLIS (DTN) -- Additional precipitation is expected across the south-central U.S. this week, while an active pattern continues across northern Argentina and southern Brazil through the middle of the week. These are the weather factors driving the markets Monday.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES RETURN FOR MIDWEST
A couple of low pressure systems will move through the Midwest this week, providing chances for rainfall and measurable snowfall. Mild temperatures continue for the start of this week before a cooler airmass from the west briefly moves into the region for the end of the week, providing below normal temperatures.
ACTIVE START TO THE WEEK FOR THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS
P[L1] D[0x0] M[300x250] OOP[F] ADUNIT[] T[]
Low pressure systems from the Great Basin will drift east and sweep across the region for the first half of this week. The first system will bring mostly rain to the region while the second system will bring measurable snowfall to the Central Plains. Below normal temperatures are also expected behind the second system later this week.
DEVELOPING SYSTEM WILL TAG THE NORTHERN PLAINS
A system across the south-central U.S. will lift north over the coming days and provide areas of rain and snow across the region. Drier conditions return for the second half of the week. Temperatures will also remain above normal for the start of the week before turning cooler during the second half of the week.
MORE PRECIPITATION LIKELY FOR THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
Two rounds of rain look likely across the region this week, with severe thunderstorms possible with the second round of rain during the middle of the week. Above-normal temperatures are also expected to continue through much of the week before below-normal temperatures return briefly for the end of the week.
A COUPLE OF FRONTS SWING THROUGH SOUTHERN BRAZIL
While one front will work through the area Monday, another front is expected to swing through by the middle of the week, which will provide additional chances for precipitation. Another system may clip the area by the end of the week, but most of the precipitation with this system currently looks to stay out in the southern Atlantic. Below-normal temperatures will also make a return to the area after the middle of the week.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR THE START OF THE WEEK IN ARGENTINA
While areas of northern Argentina will see some scattered rainfall for the start of the week as a few fronts sweep through, the major crop production areas will likely remain excluded from the bulk of the rainfall. Additionally, below-normal temperatures will move in for the second half of the week.
