While temperatures moderate closer to or above normal in the coming days, the upper-air pattern will be active, creating two storm systems that will follow similar tracks from the Southern Plains to the Northeast late this week into early next week.

Milder winters and less cold lead to a northward adjustment in the zones for perennial plants, along with insect and disease potential.

Scattered showers have returned, or started, in central Brazil for their wet season. They are coming at a somewhat regular pace this week, but is it enough to turn around the recent stretch of heat and dryness?

A storm system continues to move through the eastern U.S. through midweek, but much of the country will be quieter for Thanksgiving Day. However, a cold front will bring a fall crisp air for northern areas and that should lead to areas of accumulating snow in the Rockies and...

El Nino-enhanced dryness is indeed dragging Australia wheat production down compared to the La Nina-related record harvest of 2022.

Another tough year for precipitation has widespread drought across much of the Canadian Prairies, leading to concerns for the beginning of the 2024 season.

After a long stretch of hot and dry weather, central Brazil is in line for some needed rain. But will it be enough? And will it last?

November shows signs that historical dryness will increase soil moisture deficits across Iowa.

A large storm system will track from the Southwest through the Plains and then to the East Coast over the course of several days this weekend and early next week. Widespread precipitation is likely for much of the country. Temperatures will fall after the system passes...

Hot and dry conditions in central Brazil and water-logged soils in southern Brazil have most of the country on a bad foot to start off the crop year.

November has been an active month so far with many upper-level troughs and ridges moving through. Here's what DTN sees for weather influenced by El Nino for the rest of November and for December, including what are the chances for a white Christmas.

Forecasts for the 2023-24 winter suggest limited precipitation and soil moisture benefit for the Midwest.

Much has been said about the lack of rainfall in central and northern Brazil early in the wet season. But does it really matter for Brazil's crop production?

The setup surely favors a storm system moving through the country early next week. However, models are all over the board with how to develop a potential system.

Winter wheat conditions and soil moisture are much improved over a year ago due to El Nino-enhanced precipitation.

Areas of snowfall accumulation in the Northern and Central Plains will be slow to melt with low temperatures this week, limiting the amount of fieldwork producers can accomplish this week.

The rainfall pattern across South America has been typical of El Nino, but that has been taken to the extremes so far. Here's a closer look at what has been happening and how it has affected South American crops.

World olive oil production this year will be lower than demand because of extreme heat and drought.
