Tropical Cyclone Narelle To Impact Western Australia

Kansas City, March 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Tropical Cyclone Narelle advanced into the northeast corner of Western Australia this morning. The disturbance will travel along the northern Western Australia coastline through Tuesday before moving just offshore toward the middle of the week. Ocean travel will likely be diverted around the disturbance and strong storm surge may promote minor damage in Port Hedlund. Tropical Cyclone Narelle will then potentially shift southeasterly into western sections of Western Australia Friday and this weekend possibly impacting the Learmonth, Shark Gulf, Geraldton and Perth ports. The rain may improve the moisture profile for some of the winter grain and oilseed areas, but may not be enough to completely fix the moisture deficits.

Argentina Rain May Briefly Disrupt Early-Harvest

Kansas City, March 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Heavy rain lashed at a large section of Argentina’s main production areas during the past week. Local flooding was suspected and at least a minor amount of crop and property damage may have occurred. The rain was welcome for late-planted, immature, coarse grain, oilseed, and cotton crops in areas that did not receive excessive rain. In the meantime, the moisture boost was disruptive to the maturation and harvest of early season crops. Somewhat improved weather is expected during the coming week to ten days with only one rain event expected and that occurs Friday into Monday. A more prolonged period of dry and warm weather may be needed after that to promote fieldwork and better crop development conditions.
