5-3 Weather Update

It's lights out for the winter wheat in KS and OK.  The Low pressure system that develops is going to be pushed to the NE by an area of high pressure, and looks like it will porduce very little precip at this point let's call it (East 1/3 of KS, OK) 25% coverage of quarter inch, 40% coverage of a tenth of an inch.

 

For us up North still waiting for a chance to get on the fields, it doesn't look quite as promising as it did last night:

10 Day forecast of 1000 mb (near-surface) temperature and wind from the GFS model

 

 

The weather maps have backed off on that warm SW weather making it very far into the midwest.  We return to the cool NW flow out of Canada.  Maybe our next weather update will be better.  For now, it looks like the 6-10 and 8-14 day forecasts look accurate.  Still cool and wet for the Northern Tier states.

You're just breakin' my heart, don. even a little sleet with our light rain this morning. I just love soaking my corn (the little that i have planted) in ice water. You poor ol' southern boys gotta get your ice some other way.
