C.O.R.N. Weather Report
From Sam Custer
Increasing
Variability In Rainfall
By Jim Noel
As summer nears, the weather pattern supports an increasing risk of big
differences in rainfall totals from too wet to too dry.
There is a growing risk of a heat dome developing off the drought area
in the south central to southwest parts of the U.S. The heat dome will
expand northeast into parts of the corn and soybean belt from time to
time over the next several weeks. This means enjoy the cooler than
normal weather this week. Storms will ride along the northern edge of
the heat dome as it shifts north and south. This means locally heavy
rain will be next to areas that get missed. The end result will be a
wide variety of rainfall reports in June.
The June outlook calls for above normal temperatures and a wide
variation in rainfall amounts.
Maximum temperatures do not look to exceed the 90-95 range on the
hottest days due to overall decent soil moisture conditions so even
though we expect above normal temperatures, extremely high temperatures
do not look in the offering for Ohio.
Rainfall for the next two weeks will average close to normal of 2
inches but with a range from 0.25 inches in the driest areas to over
3-4 or more inches in the highest areas. See attached image from
NOAA/NWS/Ohio River Forecast Center for more information on rainfall
distribution across the entire corn and soybean belt
