The following is the agricultural weather forecast for Tuesday, June 25, 2024, in the United States, 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.

Dry and hot weather has promoted seasonal field work in various states along the Pacific coast, while locally strong seasonal monsoon rains continue in the lower four corners area. As of June 23, pasture and grazing conditions in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado continue to deteriorate.

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.

After the strong dry cold front, the temperature in the northern plains area dropped sharply. In the deep south, except for a few showers in Kansas, the clear and hot weather has promoted rapid progress in the winter wheat harvest and other field work in the central and southern plains today, with temperatures exceeding 100°F.

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.

Strong showers and thunderstorms were sweeping over the Great Lakes region this morning, with light showers in South Dakota. Due to recent high temperatures, surface soil moisture in Ohio Valley has rapidly decreased. As of June 23, surface soil moisture in Illinois was evaluated as 47% deficient to very deficient, Indiana was 54%, and Ohio was 61%.

Dry and hot weather has promoted field work but has also rapidly increased concerns about drought. As of June 23, the proportion of surface soil moisture rated deficient to very deficient from Virginia to Georgia exceeded 80%, and the recent heat wave and sustained heat wave increased the weekly ring from 18 to 31 percentage points for these Southeastern states.

The heat wave will continue for several days. Today, the temperature from southern Nebraska to central Texas, as well as from Louisiana to Georgia, is close to or above 100°F. However, the strong cold front covering the northern plains and upper Midwest is expected to bring cooler weather as it sweeps across the eastern half of the country, expected to cover the East Coast on Thursday. As the front encounters hot and humid air masses, it will produce heavy rain and potentially severe thunderstorms, with the corn belt and Northeast facing severe weather and excessive rainfall. However, it is expected that the front will weaken in the deep southern region, with little rain in the southeastern region except for afternoon thunderstorms in Florida. At the same time, although Texas will remain dry, moisture from the western Gulf of Mexico and southwest monsoon will increase the probability of showers in the Rocky Mountains and plains, while western precipitation is mainly sourced from monsoon rainfall in the Four Corners area.

The 6-10 day outlook from June 30th to July 4th, released by the United States National Weather Service, shows that rainfall in most parts of the country will be near or above normal, but there will be some dry weather in California, the Great Basin, eastern Texas, and Southeast coastal areas. Temperatures from California to the Atlantic coast are expected to be above normal, with the Southeast and Gulf Coast states likely to experience high temperatures. Temperatures from Washington to the upper Midwest will be below normal.
