The following is the agricultural weather tips for Wednesday, September 4, 2024 in the usa, exclusively compiled by Jin10 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.

There are residual showers in Colorado and Wyoming, while other areas are dry and hot. On September 3, the high temperature in Phoenix, Arizona reached 108°F (about 42.2℃), marking 100 consecutive days of triple-digit temperatures in the region, breaking the previous record of 76 days from June 10 to August 24, 1993. The hot and dry weather is beneficial for field work, including winter wheat planting in the Pacific Northwest led by Washington, with 22% of the planned planting area completed as of September 1.

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.

A cold front passing through the northern region brings showers. Meanwhile, there are some residual showers in central and eastern Texas. The rest of the areas have warm and dry weather, which is favorable for the maturation of summer crops and field work. Sorghum harvesting has just begun in Oklahoma (5% completed as of September 1). In addition, winter wheat planting is also underway, with Colorado (7% completed as of September 1) and South Dakota (5%) taking the lead.

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.

The warm weather in the upper Midwest is helping to promote the maturation of slow-growing summer crops. In most areas of the corn belt, the development of corn and soybeans is mostly at or ahead of average levels. As of September 1, 19% of corn in the United States is fully mature, compared to the five-year average of 13%.

The humid weather from the coast of Texas to Florida has caused localized flooding and delays in field operations. In contrast, the pleasant cool and dry weather in the southeast (excluding Florida) is favorable for harvesting activities. As of September 1st, corn harvesting in Georgia has surpassed halfway, reaching 68% completion, while South Carolina has completed 57%.

Currently, a cold front traversing the northern Great Plains will move eastward over the weekend and reach the Atlantic coast. The passage of the cold front will trigger showers. Meanwhile, the region from the coastal areas of Texas to the southern Atlantic coast will experience several days of heavy rain. Over the next 5 days, apart from the central and southern Rockies, most parts of the country will see little to no rainfall. A heatwave in the west will extend to the high plains region over the weekend. In contrast, as the northern cold front advances, a blast of cold air will bring frost to the Great Lakes region over the weekend.

The 6-10 day outlook from the National Weather Service for September 9th to September 13th shows that temperatures in the Florida Peninsula and areas from the Pacific coast to the Great Plains and upper Midwest may be above normal, while most areas in the southern, eastern, and lower Midwest will experience below-normal temperatures. At the same time, much of the country will see near or below-normal precipitation, contrasting with the wetter weather in the northern and northwestern parts of California, as well as the region from the coastal areas of Texas to the southern Atlantic states.
