China Dryness To Prevail While La Nina Bias Remains

Kansas City, January 15 (World Weather Inc.) – Dryness continues to spread and intensify in portions of eastern China; including the area near and south of the Yangtze River. Nearly all of eastern China has been drier than usual in the past few weeks and temperatures were often above normal. Drought or abnormally dry conditions persist from portions of Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian into eastern Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. The need for rain will increase greatly during February as rapeseed development begins and early rice planting will begin shortly after that in the southern coastal provinces. If dryness prevails there will be some potential for delayed planting and delayed early season crop development. There is potential for some rain to develop after January 25, but as long as La Nina conditions are present moisture totals will be below normal.

North America Arctic Air Outbreak To Have Many Impacts

Kansas City, January 14 (World Weather Inc.) – Although an upper-level trough will make its way across eastern North America during the next few days, temperatures will only trend a few degrees cooler than usual for portions of the U.S. and Canada. Warmer air associated with a nearby high-pressure ridge will otherwise spread across a large section of North America later this week, prompting above or well above normal temperatures for several locations. This period of warmer weather will be short-lived as a pool of arctic air is slated to expand across North America this weekend and next week. Areas near and east of the Rockies will gradually see temperatures drop below to well below normal during this time with exceptions for southern Florida, Maine, and eastern fringes of Canada. The cold weather will increase energy demands and may stress livestock. Winterkill will also be a concern in pockets of the northern Plains and Nebraska due to little snowpack and a lack of new snow before the coldest weather.
