The following is the agricultural weather forecast for Monday, June 24, 2024 in the USA, exclusively compiled by Jinshi Futures APP.

Western United States Cool and rainy weather extends from the northwestern Pacific to the northern Rockies. This rain is beneficial for crops in the northwest, including winter wheat and small grains sown in the spring. At the same time, the hot weather in the Southwest is beneficial for farming and crop growth, although there is a high wildfire threat in some areas of Arizona and New Mexico.

The hot and dry weather is promoting seasonal field work in various states along the Pacific coast. However, there are continuous monsoon showers in the lower southwestern region.

Corn Planting Area of the United States Showers and a few thunderstorms extend southwest from the Upper Midwest. At the same time, warm and mostly dry weather in the eastern corn belt is favorable for late-season corn and soybean planting, as well as winter wheat growth.

Nighttime rain in some areas eased the drought situation in eastern Montana and surrounding areas. In other areas, the clear and hot weather is promoting the harvest of winter wheat and other seasonal field work. However, today's extreme heat, reaching up to 100°F from Nebraska to Oklahoma and northern Texas, will exacerbate soil moisture loss and have adverse effects on ranches, winter wheat and summer crops.

Weather Outlook Initially, the active weather in most parts of the United States will eventually consolidate along the cold front sweeping through the central United States on Tuesday. Subsequently, the cold front will reach the coastal states along the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday, although cool and unstable showers will persist in the Great Lakes states for a few days. According to preliminary reports, the United States will breathe a sigh of relief from the continuous thunderstorms that triggered more than 500 tornadoes in May. Before calm weather arrives, precipitation in the eastern half of the United States may reach 1 to 3 inches, except in the southern hinterland. In addition, early heat waves will expand in the western United States this weekend, with maximum temperatures exceeding 110 degrees Fahrenheit and covering lower altitude areas in the desert southwest.

Cooler weather has arrived in the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, ending the recent heat wave. At the same time, a warm front is producing scattered but locally heavy rain and thunderstorms from North Dakota to Iowa. After the front, some areas in the western corn belt may experience high temperatures as high as 100°F today.

A rainless cold front is crossing the southern part of North Carolina, easing the heat wave in the northern part of the region. In addition, dry and hot weather is promoting field work, but it also increases concerns about drought. The temperature in South Carolina to Texas will reach between 95 and 100°F today.

The center of the eastern heat wave has shifted to the southern USA, merging with the high temperatures on the plains. Southeastern states and the Gulf Coast will reach temperatures above 90°F, and temperatures in the central and southern plains may even reach or exceed 100°F. However, a powerful cold front is currently entering northern Montana, bringing significant cooling. As the cold front encounters hot and humid air, it will produce heavy rain and severe thunderstorms. The central corn belt on Tuesday and the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, lower corn belt and northern Delta on Wednesday will experience inclement weather and locally heavy downpours. However, the cold front is expected to dissipate in the deep southern region on Thursday. Meanwhile, although Texas will remain dry, monsoons from the western and southwestern Gulf of Mexico will increase the likelihood of rainfall increases this week in the Rocky Mountains and plains areas. In addition, the precipitation in the west is mainly from monsoon showers in the lower southwestern region.

The 6-10 day outlook from the US National Weather Service from June 29 to July 3 shows that most of the country will have rainfall close to or higher than normal levels, except for drought conditions in the Great Basin. In terms of temperature, except for cooler weather in the northern plain and upper Midwest, the temperature in most of the country is expected to be higher than normal. The Delta, southeastern, Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic regions may experience unusual warm weather.
