U.S. Delta, Midwest Will See Rain Potentials Increase

Kansas City, March 27 (World Weather Inc.) – Drought continues to expand and intensify across a large section of the United States. Precipitation during the past week favored the Pacific Northwest and portions of the eastern Midwest while a high-pressure ridge promoted dry or mostly dry weather in the remaining agricultural areas. With planting season rapidly approaching, the need for significant rain is high for a large section of the country. Winter grain areas are also in need of rain to improve development conditions. The ridge will continue to restrict precipitation through the end of the weekend before a series of disturbances advances across central and eastern North America next week. Rain will impact the U.S. Delta and portions of the eastern Midwest and southeastern states with some improved soil moisture. The Plains and western Midwest will receive limited precipitation and will continue to dry down. Rainfall will be too light to completely erase the drought, even in areas that receive the greatest amount of precipitation. The need for abundant rainfall will remain high heading into mid-April.
