Weather Expected to be Generally Favorable

Hotter, drier conditions are expected across the southern two-thirds of the Corn Belt, Southern Plains and Delta over the next two weeks as a high-pressure ridge builds over the middle of the country. Soil moisture is ample for normal crop development during the drier period, though there will be a need for rains in some areas by late June/early July. World Weather Inc. expects “an active pattern,” with alternating periods of rains and short-term ridging.
