Tropical Cyclone Alfred Threatens East-Central Australia

Kansas City, March 3 (World Weather Inc.) – Tropical Cyclone Alfred remains east of Australia, but a turn to the west is predicted by most computer weather forecast models which may bring the storm inland through the southeastern most corner of Queensland during mid-week this week. The storm center and its remnants will leave behind a swath of heavy rain local flooding and strong wind speeds. Some crop and property damage is possible mostly in and around the Darling Downs region of southeastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales.

Argentina Crops Improving; More Rain On The Way

Kansas City, March 3 (World Weather Inc.) – Waves of rain inundated Argentina’s Pampas farming region during the past week. The rain greatly increased soil moisture for areas that were previously struggling with drought. Soybeans, corn, and other crops that are still developing likely benefitted significantly from the rain. Early season crops that were maturing and ready for harvest experienced delays in fieldwork because of too much moisture and a sunseed quality issue has likely developed because of the rain. Additional rain is expected through Saturday. The rain will continue to promote a better environment for some late-season development; although, portions of Buenos Aires, Entre Rios, and neighboring locations will be too wet for ideal late-season development and early-season maturation and harvesting.
