WHAT A GLOOMY WEEKEND WE HAD WITH SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN AND OVERCAST SKIES THROUGHOUT. WE GET A BIT OF A BREAK TODAY THEN OUR RAINFALL CHANCES GO RIGHT BACK UP FOR YOUR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS A STORM SYSTEMS INTENSIFIES RIGHT ON TOP OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI. NOW, DEPENDING ON WHEN THIS SYTEM GETS ITS ACT TOGETHER, WE COULD SEE SOME HEAVY RAINFALL IN PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI. CURRENT SHORT TERM MODELS ARE SHOWING A SOLID HALF INCH ON AVERAGE FOR OUR AREA WITH HEAVIER AMOUNTS ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 65. IF THIS SYSTEM SHIFTS A BIT WEST, WE COULD EASILY PICK UP 1 TO 1.5 INCHES OVER A LARGE SWATH OF AREA. THIS RAINFALL HAS GREATLY HELPED IN THE DROUGHT INDEX AROUND THE STATE AND EVEN THOUGH IT CAME A BIT LATE, FARMERS ARE STILL HAPPY TO SEE IT FOR THE WINTER WHEAT. MUCH OF THE LATE SEASON BEANS ARE YET TO BE HARVESTED AND WE SHOULD BEGIN TO DRY OUT A BIT AS WE HEAD INTO THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEK.
HAVE A GREAT REST OF YOUR AFTERNOON AND I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE AG METEOGRAM FOR OUR AREA. SUBBY
