A quick up update this morning. The most interesting feature is this for 8 days from now:
Notice the big Low pressure system up by Alaska, with a trailing cold front across the Pacific. These cold fronts would normally come across the Pacific NW, and give the NW rain. But that persistant High pressure system south of it is going to do what it has done all summer long - it will kill the cold front and deflect it up into Canada. You see the series of Lows in this snapshot moving Eastward over over Hudson Bay. These are still problematic for us if we get the right set up with a Jet Stream dropping South into the US this fall. Right now - still OK. But it only is going to take one freeze to bring the growing season to an early end. Will it happen - I don't know. The possibility still exists.
A little less rain in the forecast, again, this morning. Best shot now is for a week from now:
That Low over Lake Superior for 10 days from now comes dropping from out of the Artic Ocean. I still think this is an ominous sign, and needs to be watched, closely, by all trying to make a good decision about marketing grain. It could be a carry out changer.
One more quick thing - the Jet Stream 10 days from now:
It has only a small loop into the US. If that thing was bigger, along with the Low dropping in from the Artic - well - you know. Have a great day....
