DRY SUMMER?

The models are under the impression that waters may stay cooler and that is likely affecting the forecast over the next few months. We have done extensive research that suggests as the ENSO regions trend toward neutral parts of the U.S. can warm up and turn drier, especially further south and west. The latest thinking is that late March and into April can turn much warmer, especially for the central and southern Ag belt. Based on this thinking, the greatest risk for dryness would fall across the southern ag belt this spring. This would likely mean the drought in the southern U.S. will persist and likely become more severe.

This is the models for the next 2 weeks.  The rain clouds would indeed have to stay away for awhile for us to be in drought this year.
