U.S. Midwest Will See Some Relief From Drought

Kansas City, October 17 (World Weather Inc.) – Several locations in the eastern and central Midwest dried down during the past month as drier- and warmer-than-normal weather was common. The environment was favorable for corn and soybean maturation and harvesting. The harvest is estimated to be nearly halfway complete and there is still a need for drier weather in coming weeks. However, the need for precipitation is also increasing to reverse the drought and support a better outlook for winter wheat and early-season planting prospects next spring. Several areas in the eastern and central Midwest will receive significant rain in the coming days that will briefly slow the harvest while improving the moisture profile. In the meantime, the U.S. Plains will trend dry or receive limited precipitation through the end of next week. Summer crop harvesting and hard red winter wheat planting will advance swiftly. Timely rain will be needed late this month and early November to improve or maintain relatively good wheat establishment.
