Central U.S. Expecting Strong Storms; Fieldwork Impacts Likely

Kansas City, April 26 (World Weather Inc.) – Several areas in the U.S. Plains, Midwest, and Delta will see waves of rain and storms through early next week as disturbances track over central North America. Strong to severe storms are likely from Oklahoma, northeastern Texas, and Kansas into Missouri, Iowa, eastern Nebraska, and neighboring locations today and this weekend. Several inches of rain will fall in several areas that are experiencing drought or abnormally dry conditions and significant improvements are expected. Planting and general fieldwork will not advance well in the central Midwest, but is expected to proceed around showers in the eastern Midwest, Tennessee River Basin, southeastern states and the west-central and southwestern high Plains. Some flooding is expected this weekend and early next week.

U.S. Cooling Next Week Could Bring Back Frost, Freezes

Kansas City, April 26 (World Weather Inc.) – North America weather continues to cycle through a repeating weather pattern and that may culminate in the return of colder than usual temperatures for a few days late next week and into the following weekend. Frost and freezes may accompany the cool off for the northern Plains and Midwest, although the colder conditions do not look very threatening to crops at this point in time.

Turkey To See Increased Rainfall In Coming Weeks

Kansas City, April 26 (World Weather Inc.) – A large section of Turkey has trended drier than normal since the beginning of April. The ground firmed at a time when planting should have been aggressive which may have supported great field progress, but may have delayed the emergence and establishment of some crops. Winter wheat and other winter grown crops will need significant moisture soon to get production potential back on track. Much of the country outside the interior west will have several opportunities for rain through the end of next week that should start to improve the moisture profile. Additional rain will be possible during the second week of the outlook that could further increase soil moisture. The situation should improve, though additional rain will be needed to completely fix moisture deficits in the driest locations.
