Here is the agricultural weather forecast for Tuesday, July 23, 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.

In the western region, a weak cold front may trigger new wildfires (and promote the spread of existing fires) from the northern Rockies to the northern basin due to dry thunderstorms and gusts. Currently, more than 50 active western wildfires are in different control stages, and air quality is generally declining, affecting the Pacific Northwest. In addition, except for the central and southern Rockies and the Pacific Northwest, temperatures are still high.

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.

In the plain region, dry weather is conducive to fieldwork, including the harvesting of winter wheat in the north. The hot weather on the northern plateau contrasts with the close to or lower than normal temperatures in other parts of the domestic sections. In fact, the highest temperature in Montana today in the central and eastern parts will exceed 100°F, despite the smoky haze and reduced visibility caused by wildfires in the United States and Canada. Producers in the plateau region continue to monitor drought conditions. As of July 21, surface soil moisture in Colorado (58%), Montana (50%) and Texas (50%) was rated at least very short or short.

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.

In the corn belt, local showers are moving in the upper Midwest. Elsewhere, mild and dry weather is conducive to the rapid development of summer crops. As of July 21, nearly two-thirds (61%) of US corn crops have reached the tassel stage or beyond, compared with the five-year average of 56%. Similarly, 65% of US soybeans are flowering, 5 percentage points higher than the average level.

In the southern region, humid and rainy weather continues along the line from central Texas to the mid-Atlantic coast and its south. Even with recent and ongoing rains, North Carolina leads the US with a 66% corn rating as of July 21-officially rated very poor to poor-the same is true of 21% of soybeans. On that same day, at least 40% of pastures in several southeastern states, including Virginia (70%), Tennessee (42%), South Carolina (42%), and Georgia (40%), were rated very poor to poor.

Showers in the southeast will continue through the weekend, with many areas from the western Gulf of Mexico to southern Atlantic states seeing an additional 2-4 inches or more of rain. Lighter showers (most areas less than an inch) will affect the Midwest and Northeast, with most of the rainfall ending by Thursday. Meanwhile, dry weather will dominate the plains and far West, and active monsoon circulation will produce scattered showers in the basin, interior West, and Southwest. Hot weather in most of the West will continue, with heat gradually spreading eastward and covering much of the central part of the United States.

The 6-10 day outlook from the US National Weather Service for July 28 to August 1 shows that most of the country may experience near or above-normal temperatures, except for parts of southern California and southern Texas where temperatures may be below normal. At the same time, rainfall in most of the Northeast and most of the western United States will be close to or below normal levels, in contrast to wetter-than-normal weather in the Midwest, South, Southeast, and western Gulf of Me****gions.
