March and April will go down as about 2-5 degrees above normal and rainfall will go down as 0 to 2 inches above normal as a whole though most places have seen a drier April after wetter March.
The last week of April looks 1-3 degrees above normal for temperatures with no risk of a hard freeze. Precipitation will be normal to slightly above normal with generally 0.5 to 1.5 inches of rainfall.
The outlook for May is for temperatures to be 1-2 degrees above normal and precipitation 0-1 inches below normal.
The likely impact of all of the April and May weather is a green light from any freeze risk to plant and a green light from temperatures. From rainfall, a yellow or red light will likely occur this week after a green to yellow light as the clay soils will wet up this week. We do expect to go back to green to yellow lights in a week or week and a half again.
The summer outlook calls for warmer and slightly drier than normal conditions but with big swings.
The early fall outlook calls for conditions to turn wet during harvest season.
