Severe Weather To Impact Midwest, Mid-South This Week

Kansas City, March 12 (World Weather Inc.) – A very strong area of low pressure is expected to move out into the central United States Friday. As it does so, greater moisture will get pulled north from the Gulf of Mexico into the Midwest, Delta, and southeastern states along with well above average temperatures. This will lead to enough instability and atmospheric energy for severe thunderstorms. Friday’s outbreak will mostly impact the Midwest and Delta regions with damaging wind, locally large hail and tornadoes. Another round of severe weather is expected Saturday impacting the southeastern Delta, Tennessee River Basin and interior southeastern states. The impact from the anticipated severe thunderstorms will include personal property damage and power outages.

Brazil Soybean Harvest To Continue Around Rain

Kansas City, March 11 (World Weather Inc.) – Soybean harvest progress remains a few percentage points ahead of this time last year as drier than normal weather was again noted across Brazil. Over half of the crop was out of the ground and conditions will remain favorable for aggressive harvesting in the coming days despite some rain. Safrinha corn planting is also winding down, though progress remains a little behind compared to this time last year. Center-west Brazil has some moisture to support relatively good establishment and early-season growth. Other production areas have dried down and need to see more significant rain for ideal long-term crop conditions. Rainfall in center-south Brazil during the coming week will marginally bolster soil moisture. However, the driest locations may need additional rain to completely fix the moisture deficits.
