Brownfield Ag Weather Today

A period of significant storminess is underway across the Midwest. During the next 5 days, the axis of heaviest rain (locally 4 to 10 inches) will likely stretch from the east-central Plains into the lower Great Lakes region, cutting across northern Missouri, southeastern Iowa, northern and central Illinois, northern Indiana, and southern Lower Michigan. Some of the rain will be accompanied by strong winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. Lowland flooding is expected to develop in some of the hardest-hit Midwestern areas. In contrast, only light showers should occur in drought-affected areas of the northern Plains and far upper Midwest. Mostly dry weather will also prevail in the Far West, while meaningful rain across the Deep South will be mostly limited to Florida and areas along the Gulf Coast. The western U.S. dryness will be accompanied by blazing heat, particularly in the Northwest. Relatively cool weather will prevail, however, across the central and southern Plains and the Midwest.
