MORNING
WEATHER MODEL COMMENTS
KEY
ISSUES OF THE DAY
- U.S.
northern Plains and Canada’s Prairies experience freezes this morning - Some
damage to immature crops resulted - Freezes
will occur Wednesday morning from Manitoba and far northern Minnesota through North Dakota to Montana and from Wyoming to western Nebraska and eastern Colorado - Damage
to dry edible beans and sugarbeets are expected along with some immature summer crops in the west-central Plains - Livestock
stress will be high in eastern Colorado and some immediate neighboring areas today and Wednesday due to cold rain and wet snow - Remnants
of Typhoon Haishen have produced more heavy rain in northeastern China where the ground is already too wet and flooded from Typhoon Maysak that moved through the region last week - Western
Argentina remains too dry with little change likely, although rain will fall in southern and northeastern Argentina over the coming week - Dryness
in Europe will continue from France to Ukraine this week which will be good for summer crop maturation and harvesting and for planting of some winter crops - Drought
remains a concern for France, the middle and lower Danube River Basin, central and eastern Ukraine, Russia’s Southern Region and western Kazakhstan – little relief expected this week - Flooding
remains a concern for northeastern China’s corn and soybean country; the region must dry out for summer crop harvest – some damage to crops has likely occurred - Australia
still needs significant rain to support reproduction in Queensland, northern New South Wales and northern parts of Western Australia - Mexico
and Central America have trended much wetter recently and the trend will continue; relief from dryness in Honduras and Nicaragua is becoming more complete - West-central
Africa remains too dry especially in Ghana and eastern coffee and cocoa production areas of Ivory Coast - Rain
in South Africa during the weekend was good for wheat, barley and canola, but much more was needed
MORE
DETAILS FOR THE WORLD
- North
America Cold Surge Overnight Stresses Livestock And Damages Crops - Unseasonable
cold settled through the Canadian Prairies and into the northern U.S. Plains overnight inducing some crop damage and more is expected tonight - Extreme
lows slipped to the 20s Fahrenheit in Montana and parts of Canada’s Prairies with a few upper teens noted as well.
- Freezes
will occur Wednesday and parts of Montana to northern Minnesota and from Wyoming into western South Dakota, western Nebraska and northeastern Colorado
- Damage
is expected to dry edible beans, sugarbeets, potatoes and some heavily irrigated late season crops
- Dryland
crops will not be as seriously impacted because of heat and dryness in recent weeks has already advanced crops to maturity at the potential expense of yield - Damage
in Canada will include some flax, corn and soybeans as well as a few late season canola crops in Saskatchewan and Manitoba - Livestock
stress will be greatest from Montana to western Kansas and eastern Colorado due to falling temperatures, high wind speeds, cold rain and heavy wet snow - The
moisture will be good in easing long term dryness, although more rain will still be needed - Winter
wheat planting may improve in early seeding areas due to the moisture boost expected - North
America Cold Surge Will Not Seriously Harm U.S. Midwest Corn Or Soybeans - Low
temperatures this morning in the eastern Dakotas, Minnesota and northwestern Iowa were not low enough to cause harm to summer crops
- Wednesday
low temperatures will fall to the 30s in the eastern Dakotas and western and northern Minnesota
- Most
freezes and frost will occur in northern and western Minnesota and eastern North Dakota with very few temperatures below 30 Fahrenheit - Some
crop damage is expected, but no serious production cut will result - Crop
quality issues will be possible - Cloud
cover will be widespread in western Midwest Wednesday except northwestern Minnesota and North Dakota – which holds temperatures up - Cold
air will be moderating by Thursday, but cloud cover will still be abundant in western Corn Belt except northern Minnesota, North Dakota and a few immediate neighboring areas which will prevent frost and freezes once again
- Clouds
will still be present Friday when most lows in the western Midwest will be in the 40s
- None
of North America threatening cold will reach into eastern Midwest, Delta or southeastern U.S. - Southwest
U.S. Plains And West Texas Will Experience No Freezes - Rain
and cloudiness will accompany cold air into southwest U.S. Plains helping to hold temperatures up above the damage threshold
- Rain
falls today through Thursday with some showers Friday in the southwestern Plains bolstering soil moisture for better wheat planting and emergence conditions and improving soil moisture in sorghum, cotton, peanut and corn production areas - Cotton
boll lock is possible in some of the production areas of West Texas and areas north into southwestern Kansas because of High temperatures Wednesday and Thursday in the 50s and 60s with a few 40s and lows in the upper 30s and 40s Wednesday and Thursday with
40s continuing Friday - Frost
may be avoided because of cloudiness throughout the cold period - Warming
will return late this week and into the weekend with highs back into the 70s and 80s throughout the southwestern Plains and lows in the 50s and lower 60s - Heavy
wet snow from Colorado to Wyoming may bring trees and powerlines down tonight into Wednesday morning - Many
deciduous trees have not lost their leaves yet - Notable
transportation delays are expected, although the snow will melt relatively quickly after falling on streets and highways - Substantial
early season snowfall is expected in the mountains of Wyoming and Colorado - U.S.
hard red winter wheat areas will get a general soaking of rain this workweek (with snow in Colorado during mid-week) that will dramatically improve soil moisture for future wheat planting and establishment - Moisture
totals of 0.60 to 1.50 inches west and 1.00 to 2.50 inches east with a few greater amounts possible in Oklahoma and south-central Kansas - Drier
weather will evolve this weekend and last through most of next week - Temperatures
will trend colder this workweek and then warmer this weekend through next week with temperatures back above average next week.
- Western
U.S. Corn Belt will get some needed rain to ease long term dryness in Iowa and neighboring areas this week - Rainfall
of 0.40 to 1.50 inches will occur in the far northwest while 1.00 to 3.00 inches and a few totals over 6.00 inches from the eastern Texas Panhandle into south-central Kansas
- Northeastern
North Dakota and parts of northern Minnesota rainfall will be minimal this week while rain falls in most other western Corn Belt locations with totals of 0.50 to 1.50 inches resulting - Rainfall
will be much more limited this weekend into next week with only one frontal system and associated rain occurring Sep. 18-19 - Moisture
comes too late for a serious increase in late season crop yields, but the moisture will stop the decline in crop conditions - Lower
Eastern U.S. Midwest and northern Delta rainfall will be restricted next ten days with less than 0.50 inch of moisture expected which will lead to net drying - Rainfall
in Great Lakes region will vary from 0.60 to 1.50 inches and locally more over the coming ten days - U.S.
lower Delta and southeastern states will experience routinely occurring rainfall over the next ten days with the southeastern states wettest - The
lower Delta will not get much rain until this weekend and then a daily occurrence is possible next week - Tropical

Storm Haishen reached northeastern China Monday and moved inland through eastern South Korea earlier in the weekend before reaching China - The
storm reached South Korea as a Category Two storm, but may have been a little less impactful than Typhoon Maysak was earlier last week - Nevertheless,
heavy rain was noted and storm strong wind and the additional moisture over already saturated and flooded land may have caused more damage to crops and property - Rainfall
through dawn today ranged from 1.00 to 6.00 inches in northeastern China and additional rainfall of 1.00 to 3.00 inches and locally more will occur through Wednesday causing greater flooding and more potential crop damage - Canada
