BOY, WE HAD A NICE SURPRISE ON SATURDAY WHEN THE STORM SYSTEM THAT PROVIDED RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MOST OF OUR AREA DECIDED TO HANG AROUND FOR THE DAY. PREVIOUS EXPECTATION OF RAINFALL WAS BETWEEN HALF TO AN INCH AND A QUARTER AND MOST OF OUR AREA RECEIVED 2 TO 2 AND A HALF INCHES! A VERY WELCOMED SIGHT TO MANY. AS MENTIONED LAST WEEK, I AM SEEING A FEW BIG SYSTEMS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THAT WILL BE AFFECTING OUR AREA BEGINNING TOWARDS THE END OF THIS WEEK. SIGNS ARE HINTING AT SOME HEAVY RAINFALL FOR OUR AREA. THEN NEXT WEEK, YET ANOTHER SYSTEM EXPECTED TO PROVIDE ANOTHER CHANCE OF SOME HEAVY RAINFALL. TEMPERATURES SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE RIGHT AROUND NORMAL THROUGH NEXT WEEK AS WELL. BY THE END OF THE PERIOD NEXT WEEK, I EXPECT MUCH OF THE MAJOR DROUGHT CONDITIONS TO BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED. MAY A BIT TOO LATE TO HELP IN THE FIELDS, BUT HAVING THE MOISTURE IS GREAT THIS TIME OF YEAR AS WINTER WHEAT WILL BE PUT INTO THE GROUND. HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE AND I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE AG METEOGRAM FOR WCMO;
