Center-West, Center-South Brazil Flood Potentials To Increase

Kansas City, December 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Waves of rain are slated for much of center-west, center-south, and northeastern Brazil in the coming weeks as a La Nina-like weather pattern evolves for the country. These areas are already saturated and will receive several more inches of rain this week. The threat for flooding will increase and may damage some crops. Wet weather diseases will be a growing concern, as will the need for replanting if severe flooding occurs. Overall, production potentials will remain relatively favorable, though the need for drier weather will increase toward mid-January. Southern Brazil will otherwise trend drier than normal this week. The region will have ample moisture to maintain aggressive growth despite the lack of rain.

Argentina To Slowly Dry Down; Rain Will Be Needed In January

Kansas City, December 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Northern and central Argentina received much-needed rain during the past week while several areas in southern Argentina were dry. Short-term establishment and development conditions remain favorable across the country as planting enters the final stretch. With La Nina still looming, the weather pattern for Argentina will have a La Nina-like feel for the next week to ten days. Drier-than-normal weather is slated for much of crop country with temperatures gradually warming above normal. Although the environment will not immediately turn harsh for the country, continued dryness toward mid-January could start to impact development rates, especially if temperatures become well above normal.

U.S. Pacific Northwest Mountain Snowpack To Increase

Kansas City, December 20 (World Weather Inc.) – The Cascade Mountains and a large section of the Rocky Mountains in the United States were generally drier than normal in the past few weeks. Mountain snowpack is still near or above normal in much of the Pacific Northwest despite the drier biased environment. Snow-water equivalents in the Rocky Mountains are otherwise near to below normal for this time of year. There is still plenty of time to improve mountain snowpack that will fill reservoirs next spring. A wet weather pattern is slated for the Pacific Northwest through the end of next week. Mountain snowpack will continue to increase in the Cascade Mountains and northern fringes of the Rockies. Other locations in the Rockies will remain drier biased through the end of next week. However, precipitation potentials could increase during the second week of the outlook that could promote significant snowfall in portions of the Rockies.
