Very nice to see green pastures and growing hay meadows. Unfortunately, the longterm drought, which we're not out of yet, has knocked a lot of the cool and warm season grass and weeds are an issue right now. Still, its SO nice to see green for a change! Yesterday, it seemed like EVERY cloud that passed over us here in SE Kansas dropped some precipitation, it has been a long time since that has happened.
KS and most of MO got our corn in during dry start to April, its about 1' tall in most areas here. Just need a dry window in June to get the beans in, and the wheat looks fantastic
Around 11:15, where you look into the AI model, is the new key to modeling our continental climate. The thermodynamic pairing of the North Atlantic and the Arctic seems to be taking seasonal precedence from the Pacific, while simultaneously leaving the 'Bermuda'(?) high free to scour the Gulf. Later into the summer as temp differences between them moderate, there'll be much less push south from the Arctic. The boreal fire season is tied into the same phenomenon. An increase in Bering sea flows seems to be involved too, but I haven't got that locked in yet. In effect, we are becoming an 'island continent' with full perimeter maritime influence. Check out the JMA- no one reads the Pacific as well as they do.
First crop hay goin down eastern iowa. I have planted alot of corn june 1st and sometimes it was better than may 1st corn. We are far from too wet hear
Crazy weather down here in SE Texas. Many areas just 30 miles north of Houston have already received an average years worth of rainfall while areas just south of Houston are normal or even slightly below normal.
The LRC pattern is why we keep in locked SW flow! key trait of this year's pattern , I implore you to learn more about LRC, there is absolutely merit to it and essential in understanding long range
He has published and peer review There are some holes but if you step back you can see it, but there are seasonal changes and thats where the skill lies
Today's hybrids are different than those of 10 years ago. The new genetics are allowing hybrids to stay green (healthier) later than then. This is causing 110 days to act like 112 - 115 days. I think 2900 GDD's is not filled with alot of extra time anymore for full season corn. Would have to reduce season maturity. 😊
On that % soil moisture map with regards to May 14th, blue today means way way too wet. Mid May is usually the tail end of the high precipitation time of the year that is normally experienced in the first 10 days of May. So blue would mean really really wet with regards to field conditions at least for those east of the Mississippi.

I can verify that Snake River valley storm!! That was a wild ride! Started as a dust storm in my area and then turned into quite the thunderstorm!
lot of good information today, thank you!!!!!

I'll read the papers he published (if he published, I haven't checked).

My prediction? Rain.

Too wet to plant is not better than a drought, just a different problem!
