Karen Braun@kannbwx

Dryness has spread in the central USA over the last eight weeks. Some 66% of the Midwest (the most since mid-March) is now abnormally dry versus 13% in mid-July. Not sure that this has a huge impact on crop yields from here, but it is something to monitor.

Highest snow pack in the last 10 years for the Southwest with more on the way.

This is astounding and just what the drought doctor ordered!

Why only reporting on how extreme and bad this is by media?

That doesn't sell!

This is mainly thanks to the global warming pattern/El Nino kicking in again in the Pacific after the pause caused by the La Nina(cold water in the tropical Pacific) which caused the drought....is over!

Thanks, Jean!

I remember talking with Jim Roemer a few times back in the early/mid 90's when he was part of the Freese-Notis, Trade-Winds commodity weather advising service. Craig Solberg too. I was mega impressed with their knowledge of how the weather impacted ag and energy markets, which was what I was making a killing doing in the 1990's from the get go.

This was before the internet and I had a satellite dish on the roof getting the weather information the same time the NWS did. Big funds used meteorologists that would take some time to update forecasts, then pass it on and I was already in before the market dialed in the updated forecast. 

There were no algorithms jerking the markets around and they reacted much more predictably. 

Today, they have in house models that are sometimes a few minutes faster than anything that I get.

Although the models were milder overnight, the Greenland block type anomaly in 2 weeks suggests a very solid cold air connection by mid January.

Outside of the fairly localized extreme event in the high population, Los Angeles area almost a week ago, these  atmospheric river events from the Natural El Nino have blessed California with wonderful beneficial rains.

Most places will gladly take a bit more of the exact same events(absent the tiny % of area with the extreme rains) with only a very tiny reservoir close to capacity.

It took almost a week for me to get to my lawn because the rain never seems to stop.  My grass looks good though.  I noticed a couple brave farmers were out working some wet (small) fields

Welcome to June, 2024!

What will the upper level ridge in the West, to the Plains do late in the 2 week period?

Will it shift into the Midwest and turn the weather hot/dry, which is a potential La Nina Summer analog?

This was the 500mb map for June 15th on the last 0z European Ensemble.

Jean,

I'm not sure what qualifies for nasty but after a few more days of some wet weather in the Midwest(not too severe), it turns VERY quiet and unseasonable cool in the Midwest late in week 1, especially in your location, Ohio. That pleasant weather should last for a full week. 

However, I'm seeing strong signals for a pattern change late in week 2 with the big upper ridge in the West shifting eastward into the Plains.

The cool and mostly dry weather should start heating up in mid June!

Check out these CDD maps for the next 2 weeks from the just updated 0z European Ensemble model in purple on the right. 

1. The Pacific region: normal increases slowly from just 1.5 to 2.5 as seen with the green line on the right during the 2 weeks below. Residential cooling demand can spike up like this during heat waves but is usually MUCH, MUCH less than the Midwest, East and South where the overall population is greater and hot/HUMID weather is more common. Heat waves in the West have MUCH lower humidities than in the East(but this contributes to wildfires). During this upcoming week, near record heat out West will briefly spike the CDDs to 7 which is around 4 times the normal. It stays hot out there in week 2 as the heat shifts farther east

2. The Midwest region on the 2nd map sees an average increase in CDDs (in green on the right) from 2.5 to an increasingly substantial 6 by mid June.  After a very brief spike to 9 to start this week, temps plunge and CDDs are MUCH BELOW AVERAGE for an extended period but start recovering late in week 2.

3. This is the 45 day outlook for the entire country from the last European model run late last week.  You can see how the first 2 weeks look more like the Midwest's signature because the Midwest counts so much more than the West/Pacific. What stands out is the rapidly building heat! Temps go ABOVE average during mid month and stay sustained WELL ABOVE AVERAGE THRU MID-JULY.  This is POTENTIALLY bullish NG AND grains.
4. Mid June Upper levels

5. Drought monitor: Great shape everywhere........except KS that will get hurt in late June with intense heat.

45 days for entire country below:

++++++++++++++++++++++++

4. Upper levels mid June with individual ensembles from Canadian model. Upper level ridge shifts east.  How strong? What location? Hot and dry will become a worry in the 2nd half of June for some locations!

5. Drought monitor: Midwest in great shape overall but NOT, KS. KS wheat which is filling will likely  get hurt in late June with the new pattern. 

Last week as of May 28, 2024-no drought in California from the Winter El Nino. Most drought in the Midwest is wiped out completely!

Here come da HEAT, starting in the middle of next week! Afterwards, that will define the rest of the month with the intensity and location moving around. 

Rain amounts in some areas will be deficient and soil moisture, which is wonderful, almost everywhere will be drying up under the heat.

The 75% G/E first corn rating was a big factor for fund selling early in June!

https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/104311/#104538

The next rest of June is going to start featuring heat with some areas drying up(especially the Eastern Cornbelt).......other areas will have enough rain to do well.......grow fast in the vegetative state with the heat accumulating Growing Degree Days for corn.

This was the last 12z GEFS run for total rains the next 384 hours.

Light blue is 2+ inches.

There they go again in blaming climate change again for this fake "1 in 1,000 year" event.

Almost 4 inches of rain in 1 hour. An all time record for the amount of rain in just an hour............FOR THIS CITY. 

Yes, that's a lot of rain and warmer global temperatures probably contributed at least +7% to that total but its not even close to a record for the United States.

Not even in the top 10. Probably in the top 100.

What is the Most Rain to Ever Fall in One Minute or One Hour?

https://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/what-is-the-most-rain-to-ever-fall-in-one-minute-or-one-hour.html

I'll start a new thread just on this tomorrow to show how absurd it is to call this a 1 in 1,000 year event.

It really boils down to this, once again(Cliff Mass can be counted on as an elite source for using objective, authentic science)

https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-golden-rule-of-climate-extremes.html

The GoldenRule

 Considering the substantial confusion in the media about this critical issue, let me provide the GOLDENRULE OF CLIMATE EXTREMES. Here it is:

The more extreme a climate or weather record is, the greater the contribution of natural variability.

Or to put it a different way, the larger or more unusual an extreme, the higher proportion of the extreme is due to natural variability.   

+++++++++++

These people cherry pick every extreme, as if there were no extremes in the past and tie them to climate change.

It's late for growing season weather to impact crop prices and late for heat to impact natural gas demand for cooling. 

Of the 2, an intense heat wave in the high population areas of the East and South might have more potential but that is NOT the forecast.

Yields WILL be dropping in the ECB and vicinity the next 2 weeks. This was total rain for the next 2 weeks from the just out 12 GEFS. Crop condition reports in early September will deteriorate a couple %, maybe a bit more. 

NOT good for the last few weeks of pod filling for beans.

Yeah, baby! Here comes our first real rain in over 5 weeks!

The dew point here in Evansville, IN yesterday morning was 29 degrees. I've never seen it close to that low in early September in 4 decades of living here. Extraordinarily dry air mass and extraordinarily dry soils making it worse.

Much less than hoped for early in the week but close to the amount expected just before it hit.

Most of the rain along and south of the Ohio River was from Francine. Evansville in in dark blue, with 1+ inches in light green and 2+ inches i darker green.

New product that shows how depleted our soil moisture is.

Basically, close to the lowest soil moisture ever in the top 3 feet. We can see how Francine greatly helped areas just barely south of us a week ago.

Busy week with our weather and for SOME good reasons if you're in the path of some drought busting rains on the northern periphery of the rain shield. 

NOT along the Gulf Coast, however with EXTREME life threatening weather.

And many drought areas will see too much of a good thing too fast.
