Brownfield Ag Weather Today

The interaction between the Southwestern monsoon circulation and a cold front currently crossing the northern Plains will lead to significant rainfall, starting on Tuesday. The axis of heaviest rain should extend from Arizona into the Great Lakes region. Event-total rainfall could reach 1 to 2 inches or more in parts of the Four Corners States and at least 1 to 3 inches in numerous Midwestern locations. However, rain will largely bypass some northern crop production areas, including North Dakota. Meanwhile, scattered showers from a previous cold front will affect the South and East through mid-week before dissipating. Farther west, hot, dry conditions will persist across the Pacific Coast States and the northern Rockies, hampering wildfire containment efforts and leading to additional stress on drought-ravaged rangeland, pastures, and dryland crops.
