  1. Weather Map Week of June 10

    Rest of June warmer than normal with high rainfall variability

    Author(s): Jim Noel

    Not much has change since last week in terms of the outlook. The rest of June is likely to be warmer than normal with high variability of rainfall but tendency to above normal rainfall.

    It appears a heat dome will be centered in the south central U.S. this summer with periods where it shifts over the corn and soybean belt and Ohio Valley. The next surge of heat will come this weekend into early next week. With these surges come a ring of fire of storms around the heat dome leading to locally heavy rainfall. However, that rain will be scattered in nature.

    As summer nears, the weather pattern supports an increasing risk of big differences in rainfall totals from too wet to too dry.

    Warm Weather Continues...High Rainfall Variability

    Author(s): Jim Noel

    Above normal temperatures will continue for the rest of May. Unlike temperatures, rainfall will be very inconsistent with a tendency to be wetter than normal. Some areas of Ohio will receive flooding rain while other areas will struggle to receive an inch or perhaps less than a half inch of rain for the rest of the month. Uncertainty is high for where the flooding rains will occur and where the driest areas are. Runoff will also be highly uncertain the rest of May.

  4. Decent Spring Planting Conditions Ahead

    Author(s): Jim Noel

    A progressive weather pattern will continue over the next 2-3 weeks. This will allow for periods of dry conditions to be mixed with periods of wet conditions. This week should see many dry hours to allow for planting to be hit hard. While a cold and damp April put things behind schedule, we will continue to see things catching up to normal with mild and drier conditions.

    The outlook for the rest of May is slightly above normal temperatures with rainfall slightly above normal north and slightly below normal south.

  5. What a difference a month makes!

    Author(s): Jim Noel

    After a cold and wet April, May is shaping to have temperatures normal or slightly warmer than normal with rainfall near normal.

    Except for rainfall later this week (with best chances north of I-70) rainfall will be at or below normal for the first half of May. The exception will be the northern tier of counties in Ohio which should at least get normal rainfall maybe a bit above.

    It does appear the second half of May will turn somewhat wetter which should cause May to average out the drier and wetter patterns to near normal rainfall.
