WELL, WE HAVE AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE HAS SET UP OVER THE MIDWEST, AND IS PRODUCING SOME VERY HOT TEMPERATURES HERE IN WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI. WHAT WE HAVE GOING FOR US IS THAT WE ARE ON THE EDGE OF RIDGE, AND WILL SEE A FEW CHANCES OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS, SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE THIS MORNING. IF THERE IS ONE TOPIC THAT UNITES FARMERS HERE IN OUR AREA AS WELL AS ACROSS THE MIDWEST, THAT WOULD BE RAIN. IT DETERMINES YOUR PROFITS, YOUR SCHEDULE AND YOUR MOOD ALL WRAPPED INTO ONE FRUSTRATING PACKAGE. WITH THE SCATTERED NATURE OF THESE RAINS AS OF LATE, YOUR NEIGHBOR MIGHT GET HALF OF AN INCH, WHEREAS YOU ONLY RECIEVED A COUPLE DROPS. THE SUMMER TIME WEATHER PATTERN IS SO HARD TO PREDICT BECAUSE OF THE VOLATILITY OF THE ATMOSPHERE THIS TIME OF YEAR. AFTER TODAY, I DO EXPECT ABOUT A 5-7 DAY DRY STRETCH BEFORE A SYSTEM FINALLY PUSHES THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OUT OF HERE. I AM EXPECTING A RELATIVELY DRY START TO AUGUST, TO BE FOLLOWED UP WITH A MORE ACTIVE LAST COUPLE WEEKS OF THE MONTH AND INTO SEPTEMBER. HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE WEEK AND I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE BOMGAAR’S WEATHER CENTER’S AGRICULTURE METEOGRAM FOR WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI. SUBBY
