Argentina Will Trend Drier; Harvest Conditions To Improve

Kansas City, March 10 (World Weather Inc.) – Waves of rain were noted in portions of Argentina during the past week. The rain bolstered soil moisture or kept the ground saturated in southern and portions of western Argentina. Flooding was noted in Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires. Minor quality declines were also possible for crops that were maturing in areas that received the greatest amount of rain. Argentina will experience drier than usual weather this week. The wettest fields will have an opportunity to dry down, which should improve maturation, harvesting, and late-season development.

Central U.S. Windstorm To Raise More Dryness Concern

Kansas City, March 11 (World Weather Inc.) – A very intense low pressure center expected to form over the central United States late this week and early in the weekend will have many impacts. A blizzard is expected in the northern Plains, southeastern Canada’s Prairies and the upper Midwest as the storm center taps into cold air moving south from Canada while dragging warm and moist air northward from the southern states. The wind will also stir up dust and sand in the southwestern U.S. Plains reducing visibilities and removing volumes of lingering moisture from the topsoil in some hard red winter wheat areas. The wind will also threaten travel for high profile vehicles, induce power outages and produce property damage.
