U.S. Delta Moisture Deficits To Be Diminished By Sunday

Kansas City, January 23 (World Weather Inc.) – U.S. moisture deficits left over from last summer have been successfully whittled down in recent weeks by periods of rain and snow and cooler temperatures. The one crop region in the nation that still has notable moisture deficits is the Delta and a part of the Tennessee River Basin. Some of the moisture deficits range from 4.00 to nearly 10.00 inches in the most recent 90-day period. Two waves of heavy rain are expected to impact this dry region between now and Sunday producing enough rain to eliminate much of the moisture deficits; however, the precipitation may come a little too fast to avoid at least some flooding.

Southern Argentina To Dry Out For Ten More Days

Kansas City, January 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Not much rain has fallen over the past week in central and southern Buenos Aires or the southern two-thirds of La Pampa. These areas are already experiencing short to very short topsoil moisture, but crop development is continuing on favorable subsoil moisture. Another week to ten days of limited rainfall will further deplete soil moisture leading to some stress for late double-cropped soybeans that were recently planted. Some corn, sorghum and sunseed will also be stressed making rain in early February all the more important. Drying has also occurred in far northern Argentina, although cotton and sorghum grown there will handle the dryness relatively well. Central Argentina drying should not be a problem as long as rain returns as advertised in early February.

Brazil Soybean Harvest Beginning; Rain May Impact Fieldwork

Kansas City, January 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Several areas in southern Brazil reported abundant rainfall during the past week. Early-season harvesting and general fieldwork likely got off to a sluggish start and drier weather is needed. Areas farther north in Brazil received varying amounts of rain as well with some heavier rain totals noted in Sao Paulo, Goias, and neighboring locations. With harvesting of soybeans and first-season corn set to expand in the coming weeks, the need for periodic dryness is increasing for areas that are excessively wet. A shift in the weather pattern will occur this week with northeastern Brazil, Goias, and neighboring locations experiencing frequent rainfall. Drier weather will also be needed soon to support Safrinha corn and cotton planting.
