Weather and Market Commentary- Wednesday, June 17

Wednesday, June 17, 2009:
Except in Nebraska and Kansas, it was not hard to find rainfall in the Corn Belt over the past 24 hours. Most of it was not very heavy, but as usual there were places getting some locally big totals (around an inch at Dayton and Indianapolis; over two inches at Springfield, IL; and a very narrow band of thunderstorms in eastern South Dakota produced several tornadoes). Most of the rain early on this Wednesday was in Michigan, with considerable rain falling in especially central parts of that state. There is still a lot of rain in the forecast from now through the early weekend, and it looks like severe weather is going to be a good bet with a lot of that activity. Look for thunderstorms to get started again over Nebraska this afternoon, and move eastward into Minnesota and especially Iowa overnight. The entire Corn Belt will be under the gun for thunderstorms tomorrow and tomorrow night, with the best rains and the best coverage favoring northern parts of the region.
The southeastern half of the Corn Belt will see the best rain chances for Friday and Friday night. Over the next three days, additional rains of a half inch or more should be common for the bulk of the region, though much of northern Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and northern parts of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio should commonly see rains of 1.50″ or more. I think that this system will end (at least for a while) the threat of these widespread, copious rain-makers that have been so common in the Midwest during this growing season so far, but I hardly expect next week to be completely dry. In fact, I would expect that northwestern parts of the region will already have a fairly solid rainfall threat by Sunday evening. It is finally going to feel like summer in most of the region the next two days, with highs reaching the 80s in most spots (90s for southern Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and southern Illinois) with a lot of humidity. Temperatures will cool for the weekend, but warm again next week. That warmth will be especially felt in western parts of the region, but does not look to be reaching especially excessive levels.
