Argentina Rain Well-Timed For Most Crops; Buenos Aries Dry

Kansas City, February 24 (World Weather Inc.) – Despite a lack of significant rain and periods of warmer than usual weather in January, conditions in the heart of Argentina’s coarse grain, oilseed, cotton production areas improved recently. A large part of Buenos Aires is still considered too dry, although a short-term bout of improved conditions occurred during mid-month. A portion of northeastern Argentina is also becoming too dry again as well. Sunseed and rice are already being harvested in some locations and additional rain may be too late for the early-planted crops. Alternating periods of erratic rain and sunshine are slated for crop country this week. Resulting rainfall will be too light to significantly bolster soil moisture in many areas; however, late-season development conditions will remain relatively favorable outside the driest areas in Buenos Aires and northeastern Argentina.

Brazil’s Safrinha Corn Areas; Wet North, Drier South

Kansas City, February 24 (World Weather Inc.) – Harvesting of soybeans and first-season corn is ongoing in Brazil despite several locations in center-west and center-south receiving several inches of rain during the past week. Safrinha corn planting is also ongoing. There are still worries about lower than usual soil moisture for this time of year in some southern center south Safrinha corn areas. Significant rain will be needed in coming weeks to bolster soil moisture and support better long-term production potentials for the upcoming season. Center-west and northern parts of center-south Brazil into northeastern Brazil will receive more rain in the coming week that will help bolster soil moisture while southern parts of center west and the far south of Brazil experience some additional net drying.

Impressive Snow Falls In U.S. Mid-Atlantic Region Overnight

Blizzard conditions evolved overnight and some impressive snowfall occurred as the storm center became more intense. Blizzard conditions will continue this morning along the New England coast before the storm moves far enough away to improve weather conditions in the U.S.; though conditions in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada will deteriorate greatly.
