Brownfield Ag Weather Today

A cold weather pattern will remain in place for the remainder of the week across most of the country. Warmth will be largely limited to northern California, the Pacific Northwest, and the lower Southeast, including Florida’s peninsula. As the late-season cold spell continues during the next few days, freezes can be expected along and north of a line from the northern panhandle of Texas into the Tennessee Valley. In areas where freezes occur, crops that remain at risk include heading winter wheat, emerging summer crops, and blooming fruits. Meanwhile, periods of generally light precipitation will affect many parts of the country. Snow will blanket the northern and central Rockies, while some accumulations may occur as far south as the central and southern Plains, the middle Mississippi Valley, and the central Appalachians.
