Weather and Market Commentary- September 25, 2009
September 25, 2009 by sabrina829
Near-term rain, cold weather for next Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, and rain for late next week continue to be the main weather topics to discuss on this Friday morning. Southwestern Minnesota and northwestern through southeastern Iowa were the areas getting hit very hard by rainfall early today, and this rain is going to persist into a good part of the daytime hours. It has already produced a considerable amount of 1-plus inch rains in the central third of Iowa, and additional 0.50 to 1.00″ rains are forecast during the day for eastern Iowa and southern Minnesota. There are still some scattered rains in the Delta early today, but the worst is over for that area and they will be dry for tomorrow through a good part of next Friday. Some widely scattered areas of light rains will be possible in central and eastern parts of the Corn Belt tomorrow and in far eastern/northeastern parts of the region for Sunday, but dry weather will dominate the rest of the region for the weekend and the entire area will have dry weather for Monday to Wednesday.
A strong cold front will move into northwestern parts of the Corn Belt on Sunday and into eastern areas of Monday, with windy conditions expected behind the passage of that front. High pressure moving in Monday night will be calming winds and dropping temperatures, with Tuesday morning looking to be the coldest morning in the west, and Wednesday being the coldest morning in the east. With regards to that cold, I think that things look about the same. For major corn and soybean growing areas of the Northern Plains and the Corn Belt, lows should be no worse than 33 degrees during that time frame, and thus the vast majority of the area will see the growing season continue beyond the last two days of this month. As is typical in a situation like this though, you will see a few normally “cold” locations dip to 32 degrees or a bit lower. Definitive frost risks behind Wednesday morning are not in the forecast, so we may be able to continue the growing season a good distance into October. It still looks like rain will be working into the western Corn Belt on October 1 and into central/eastern areas by October 2, with the period around October 5 being another time frame to expect rain in the Nation’s midsection.
