It was a favorable weekend for late-season harvesting activities in most of the Corn Belt, though some light rains yesterday were found in some eastern parts of the region. Probably most notable about weekend weather was the warmth of Saturday, with high temperatures in the 50s and 60s over much of the region. Harvesting weather will continue to be favorable for much of the Corn Belt throughout this work-week period and probably into the weekend with little or no precipitation expected during that period. The exception to that will be on Wednesday for the far southeastern and eastern Corn Belt, an area that will be on the northern side of a major precipitation event to impact the Delta and Southeast for the middle of this week. That system will be drawing in a good deal of cold air, so while it will start as rain, it will probably end as snow (with some accumulations) for areas near the Ohio River northward through southeastern Michigan. One to three inch rains are likely for this work-week period for eastern Texas and most of the Delta/Southeast. The next threat for precipitation for central and western areas of the Corn Belt will probably be for late next weekend, but I suspicion that around December 9 we will see a bigger winter storm system take aim at the region. That one is obviously a long ways off, but right now looks to be pretty potent and probably will be one that gives the Corn Belt the first storm of the season that produces snowcover that sticks around for a while. We will have a fairly mild start to the work-week in the Midwest, but a cooler end with the worst of that cold (with respect to normal) over the southeastern half of the region. Temperatures will then probably rebound a bit for next weekend. Our storm system of around December 9 will likely be accompanied by the first arrival of Arctic air on the scene, with temperatures likely plunging to well-below normal levels by December 8 in the Plains and in most of the Midwest and Delta by no later than December 10. November has been an exceptionally warm month for much of the Nation’s midsection, but a repeat performance in December does not appear to be in the offing. For this afternoon’s harvest progress report, I would look for the national corn harvest to be 76 percent done (which would make this year’s harvest just a touch faster than 1992) and the national soybean harvest to be 97 percent done (assuming that we even see that figure be released today by the NASS).
