For the third time this week, heavy rains in parts of the Corn Belt will have to be noted by corn and soybean traders. It was southeastern Iowa and northeastern Missouri that had the heavy rain this past Monday morning, then northwestern Iowa and southeastern South Dakota yesterday morning, and now this morning it is northeastern Iowa, far northwestern Illinois, and southern Wisconsin that have seen heavy amounts of rain overnight. Radar estimates that a lot of the area in question has seen three to five inches of rain since 7 AM yesterday morning, with localized rains in excess of six inches. I can confirm over 2.5 inches of rain at Dubuque, over 3.5 inches at Madison, and over 5.5 inches at Milwaukee (the second-biggest one-day rainfall total ever recorded at that location). Late last night we had thunderstorms that fired along and north of Highway 20 in Iowa; with a good part of that area seeing a lot of rain through yesterday morning, those additional rains prompted numerous flash flood warnings to be issued in that area (as well as in far northwestern Illinois and southwestern Wisconsin from rains earlier in the night). We will see a passage of a cool front through the Midwest over the next 36 to 48 hours to give the region one final threat of rain before most of the region is dry for Sunday. Best rains through early Sunday are forecast for northeastern Iowa, southern Wisconsin, far northern Illinois, and southern Michigan where there will be some additional 1-2 inch totals and locally heavier; the rest of the Midwest will see mostly 0.50-1.00″ totals for that period. Tropical Storm Bonnie is forecast to make landfall along the Louisiana coastline early on Sunday, and as the remnants of that storm move north we are looking at some nice rains to be moving into the Delta region for the first part of next week. The overall weather pattern is still looking warmer than normal for much of the Nation; look for the middle of next week (especially Wednesday) to feature another round of hot and humid conditions for a lot of the Nation’s midsection. There should still be rainfall chances though as extreme heat still looks to be unable to completely “lock in” and dominate the weather pattern through the end of this month.
