Good Morning! Nice and green here in Cannon Falls this morning, 1 3/4 inch here in the rain gauge. No real changes in the 6-10 or 8-14 day forecast from yesterday.
The Jet Stream this morning looks like this:
It takes the next 5 days to exit the midwest, and is replaced with this 10 days from now:
Just a continuous loop of low pressure systems in Canada dropping the Jet Stream - and cold air - deep into the US. This will back off the heat in the plains that was showing up in the forecasts a few days ago, but also in the rest of the US. The next ten days, pretty much the same story as this:
This is Wednesdays forecast map, and builds in a large High in the Central US. Once our current system finally moves out today, over the next 9 days, we will have some small disturbances moving along the Jet Stream as it moves, but it looks like a quiet period to get the final (or maybe start) planting(s) done. Some areas picked up some nice welcome rain like we did here in Cannon Falls, but I'm sure 10 miles (or less) away from here in the heavier soils, this rain was not welcome. After the frog strangler left here last night, it went over to where they certainly didn't need it - Central WI. And unfortunately, they are going to probably have to endure one more day of additional rainfall. Not that it matters much anymore, the ground is so saturated there now that any addtional will just run off anyway. That's it for this morning. And remember - rain makes grain.....
