1 T-storm Weather Summary Coolness continues over the next week in much of the central U.S., most likely producing the coldest April since 1907 in the Corn Belt, but followed by seasonable to mild weather from late next week forward. Except for rain and snow in northern areas today, the Corn Belt will be dry over the next week as substantial rains pass to the south Friday-Sunday, alleviating drought on HRW wheat and bringing rain to the Delta. Pockets of rain occasionally unfold within the milder pattern over April 24 - May 2, most likely producing near-normal rainfall within a wide area of the central U.S. Otherwise, marked drying continues for the southern half of Brazil corn. T-storm Weather Highlights No change: 0.50 to 1.50 alleviates drought for most HRW wheat Fri.-Sat., then affects the Delta Sunday. No change: another 0.25 to 0.75 of rain is probable for drought-stricken HRW later next week, as well through the end of the month would leave KS and OK around #30 driest in April of the last 124 years. No change: except for snow in northern areas today, most of the Corn Belt will be dry over the next week. April in the Corn Belt may rank as the coldest since 1907, including expectations of warming next week. 54% of second-crop corn in Brazil had less than half its normal rain last 14 days; drying continues this area.

2 Central U.S. Weather Outlook (p. 6-12) Temperatures moderate but average slightly to moderately below-normal over the next 7 to 10 days as cool fronts pass and air masses are initially kept cold by extensive snowpack in the north. Some warming next week is only expected to be brief, but a seasonable to mild period follows from late next week or weekend forward as Arctic air loses its grip on the U.S. and all snowpack has eroded, leading to a period of seasonable to mild weather with maximums mostly in the 50s-60s north and 70s-80s south. UNITED STATES DISCUSSION Regarding precipitation, a strong system produces 0.50 to 1.50 of rain on drought-stricken HRW wheat in the central and southern Plains Fri.-Sat., and similar amounts Sun. in the Delta. The rest of the central U.S. will be fairly dry over the next week, except for light snow today within the northern third of the Corn Belt, but including a narrow swath of 4 to 8 accumulations in / near the IA-MN border. Starting next Tue.-Wed. and more-so over the second half of next week, several waves of energy pass as the jet stream aligns near the central U.S. The exact setup will take days to determine, but pockets of rain and t-storms are likely within a wide area over Apr May 2, including a low chance for heavy totals dependent on exactly how each wave develops, and also including additional rainfall in droughtstricken HRW wheat areas of the central and southern Plains (another 0.25 to 0.75 most likely). The end result is for topsoil temperatures to sufficiently warm for planting in 7 to 14 days, but unlikely accompanied by completely dry weather. Note that with 1.50 through the end of the month, KS and OK would still rank in the top quarter of the driest Aprils of the last 124 years. Recent Weather Temperatures remained much colder than normal across the northern half of the central U.S. yesterday, but soared into the 80s-90s across much of the central / southern Plains and Delta. A swath of rain and snow developed overnight between each air mass, including parts of IA, MN, NE and SD. Crop and Soil Moisture Overview (p ) Except for the drought-stricken central and southern Plains, most of the central U.S. was wetter than normal in recent days, weeks, and months. The central U.S. also unusually cold in recent weeks, which will cause April to rank among very coldest of the last 124 years in the Corn Belt and northern Plains, and potentially coldest since 1907 and % of U.S. HRW wheat production is experiencing 180- day drought, including 49% and 19% with less than one-half and one-quarter of normal; only 31% of U.S. winter wheat was rated good and excellent Sunday, which is #2 lowest for the week since Central and Eastern United States Proportion of National Production By Region Region Corn Soy.

3 Weather Outlook Scattered t-storms linger in second-crop corn areas of Brazil over the next day or two, then end as the onset of the dry season begins. Areas to the south received little rain in recent weeks and remain drier than normal with minimal rainfall over the next 10 to 14 days, potentially leading to dryness stress in and adjacent Parana, including ~50% of production. SOUTH AMERICA DISCUSSION In Argentina, a stormy period begins Thu.-Fri. and then further unfolds over the following 10 days as 2.00 to 4.00 of rain affects a wide area, which is considerably wetter than normal for the second half of April; soil moisture improves for upcoming wheat planting, but occasionally slows both corn and soybean harvesting and wheat planting prospects. Recent Weather A few t-storms recurred in northern second-crop corn areas yesterday, but most of Brazil was dry. Crop and Soil Moisture Discussion (p ) Only 22% of second-crop corn in Brazil was drier than normal over the 30-day period ending Sunday, but topsoil dryness is increasing from a lack of rain central and south with 63% having been drier than normal over the last two weeks, including 54% with less than of normal, indicating a sharp north-south rainfall dry-wet gradient has developed within the second-crop corn belt. 61% of Argentina wheat production was near or wetter than normal over the last two weeks, but more will be needed to offset medium- and long-term drought, and especially in western Buenos Aires and La Pampa where rains missed over the last several months.
