Central U.S. Heat To Stress Livestock, Reduce Wheat Hardiness

Kansas City, Feb. 12 (World Weather Inc.) – Many daily record highs have been set so far this February in the central and western U.S. and additional records are likely to break next week as the warm weather pattern continues. A broad ridge of high pressure will be situated across the central U.S. in the next eight to ten days, helping to promote the unseasonably warm temperatures. A weather disturbance this weekend will provide a minor break from the warmth in some areas, but next week’s set-up will then favor more record or near-record highs. The warm temperatures will lead to more livestock stress and loss of winter dormancy in the Hard Red Winter Wheat Region, West Texas, and the southwestern Corn Belt. Some wheat greening may begin, especially after this weekend’s rain. Any wheat development will need to be monitored in case of returning cold air
