Severe Weather Expected for Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin

Kansas City, April 28 (World Weather Inc.) – Convection was increasing in interior western Minnesota at mid-day today getting ready for several hours of stormy weather this late afternoon and night. The storms will produce generalized heavy rain, hail and some tornadoes in the upper Mississippi River Basin with a broken line of severe thunderstorms extending from southwestern Iowa through northeastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri to north-central Texas. The most active part of the severe weather outbreak will impact central and eastern Minnesota, western Wisconsin and northern Iowa.

Philippines, Mainland SE Asia Crops To Get Needed Rain

Kansas City, April 28 (World Weather Inc.) – Recent drying in the northern Philippines has brought on some significant declines in soil moisture. The drier bias is well timed with the harvest of second season rice, but a little stressful for some of the new season crops as well as sugarcane and other short-rooted crops that require more routinely occurring rainfall. The dryness is not critical, though it does warrant some relief. In the meantime, pre-monsoonal showers and thunderstorms have been popping up across the mainland areas of Southeast Asia, although resulting rainfall has been less than ideal for the planting of rice and corn in unirrigated areas. Precipitation is needed for a whole host of crops including sugarcane. Pre-monsoonal showers and thunderstorms will increase rainfall this week and continue well into May resulting in improved soil moisture for many areas.
