West Texas Advertised Soaking Rain To Have Mixed Impact

Kansas City, August 27 (World Weather Inc.) – West Texas corn, sorghum, cotton and peanut production areas may experience the single greatest week of rain since the one ending June 12 during the next seven days. The stage is being set for an impressive amount of rain, but there is still time for the pattern to change. If the setup for multiple days of rain verifies there will be a mixed influence on crops in the region. The greatest benefit from a general rain might be the bolstering of soil moisture and water supply for use by winter crops and the boost in water supply for 2025, although much more rain will still be needed. For summer 2024 crops, the rain will come too late to change production in a big manner. Autumn grazing conditions will improve and immature irrigated crops may experience some quality improvement and a slight lift in yield. Cooler temperatures will also be welcome.

Queensland, Northern New South Wales, Australia Dry, Warm

Kansas City, August 26 (World Weather Inc.) – Very warm to hot temperatures developed in Queensland and the northern fringes of New South Wales during the weekend culminating on a week of little to no rainfall. The heat and dryness stressed unirrigated wheat and barley in the region and with reproduction expected to begin soon the situation must be relieved to protect production potentials. Dry or mostly dry weather will persist across Queensland and New South Wales through the next week to ten days, which will further raise concern for potential lower yields in the driest fields. Western Australia, South Australia, and Victoria will also trend drier than normal this week, although crops in these states will still have enough moisture to support new wheat, barley and canola growth.
