We 1 (6-01) Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin National Agricultural Statistics Service USDA Washington, D.C. Released June 5, 2001, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, U.S. Department of Agriculture. For information on "Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin" call Mark E. Miller at (202)720-7621, office hours 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. National Weather Summary Volume 88, No. 23 May 27 - June 2, 2001 For additional information, call (202) 720-7917. Highlights: For the second consecutive week, hot, dry weather in the West contrasted sharply with cool, showery conditions in most areas from the Plains eastward. Record heat in California and the Southwest elevated weekly temperatures up to 10 degrees F above normal, maintaining heavy irrigation and electrical demands. Across the drought-affected northern High Plains and interior Northwest, warm, mostly dry weather depleted topsoil moisture, increasing stress on pastures and dryland small grains. Showers and thunderstorms peppered the remainder of the Plains, generally benefiting winter wheat and emerging summer crops, but slowing fieldwork and causing localized wind, hail, and flood damage. Weekly rainfall totaled 2 inches or more in southeastern Nebraska, all of Kansas and Oklahoma except far western areas, and northeastern Texas. At least 4 inches of rain soaked much of eastern Oklahoma and parts of central and southwestern Kansas. In the Corn Belt, occasional showers hampered soybean and final corn planting, while cool weather (4 to 12 degrees F below normal) slowed summer crop emergence and development. Despite the showers, pockets of unfavorable dryness persisted in the lower Ohio Valley. Meanwhile, heavy rain overspread the Southeast, easing stress on unirrigated summer crops and curbing the threat of wildfires. Although topsoil moisture was adequate by week's end across most of the South, lingering dryness was noted in the southern Atlantic States, the central Gulf Coast region, and extreme southern Texas. Heat spread across southern and western Texas early in the week, then returned to much of the West thereafter. In Texas, Midland opened the week with consecutive daily-record highs (102 degrees F on May 27 and 28). More than seven dozen Western daily-record highs were set or tied from May 30 - June 2, the majority in California. On the 30th in California, May-record highs were broken in Cuyama (105 degrees F) and downtown San Francisco (101 degrees F). San Francisco's previous May record, 97 degrees F, had stood since 1887. On the last day of the month, the high of 107 degrees F in Stockton, CA, tied their May record (previously noted on May 28, 1984) and represented their record-breaking ninth day of triple-digit heat during May (previously 5 days in 1889). Elsewhere in California, May record-tying highs on the 31st reached 108 degrees F in Paso Robles and 92 degrees F on Mt. Wilson. Southern California highs on May 31 included 118 degrees F in Death Valley and 114 degrees F in Palm Springs. Hot weather again shifted eastward toward week's end. On June 1 in Nevada, Eureka's high of 92 degrees F marked their earliest high temperature at or above 90 degrees F (formerly 92 degrees F on June 8, 1985). On June 2, record heat returned to southern Texas, where Brownsville (96 degrees F) tied their daily-record high. In contrast, scattered daily-record lows were reported in the Northwest early in the week, and in the Great Lakes and Northeastern States after midweek. On May 29, record lows across the interior Northwest included 25 degrees F in Redmond, OR, and 29 degrees F in Yakima, WA. A day later, record lows in Montana fell to 26 degrees F in Kalispell and 30 degrees F in Lewistown. Farther east, the last day of May featured daily-record lows in locations such as Youngstown, OH (34 degrees F), and Alpena, MI (34 degrees F). Widespread severe thunderstorm outbreaks were reported by the Storm Prediction Center on May 27, 29, 30, and June 1. The first three outbreaks primarily affected the central and southern Plains and parts of the South, while the June 1 event struck hardest in the western Corn Belt. On May 30, daily-record rainfall totals were observed in locations such as Oklahoma City, OK (2.79 inches), and Lincoln, NE (2.59 inches). A day later, daily records were established in El Dorado, AR (3.17 inches), Jackson, TN (2.49 inches), and Orlando, FL (1.88 inches). May rainfall reached record proportions in Charleston, WV (8.76 inches), and totaled 9.72 inches in Muskogee, OK, 4.76 inches of which fell in 24 hours on May 29-30. In contrast, May rainfall was the lowest on record in locations such as Tampa, FL (a trace), Ft. Myers, FL (0.20 inch), and Kalispell, MT (0.23 inch). During May, windy, often warm weather on the northern High Plains aggravated drought conditions. In Glasgow, MT, where, January-May precipitation totaled 1.72 inches (49 percent of normal), the monthly average wind speed of 13.7 mph eclipsed their previous May record of 13.5 mph, set in 1986 and 1988. In Hawaii, showers increased across windward areas late in the week. On Kauai, Wainiha reported a weekly total of 2.04 inches, 1.34 inches of which fell in 24 hours on June 1-2. Meanwhile, cold weather lingered across western Alaska (as much as 8 degrees F below normal), but milder weather (up to 6 degrees F above normal) overspread the remainder of the State. On May 31, Barrow notched a high of 32 degrees F, the first time their temperature attained the freezing mark since October 3, 2000. Two days later, Fairbanks' high temperature reached 74 degrees F, 7 degrees F above normal. National Agricultural Summary May 28 - June 3, 2001 Highlights: Cold weather limited growth of spring row crops in the Corn Belt and hindered winter wheat development on the Great Plains. In some areas of the Corn Belt, young corn and soybean plants were also stressed by excessive topsoil moisture. Heavy rainfall halted field activities in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and interior parts of the lower Mississippi Valley and Southeast. The storms produced isolated flash floods, strong winds, and hail, but also improved topsoil moisture supplies, especially in the Southeast. In the Southwest and interior areas of the Pacific Northwest, above-normal temperatures stimulated crop development and dry weather aided fieldwork. Light precipitation provided much-needed moisture for small grain crops in the northern High Plains. In the Northeast, cold, wet weather hindered plant development and limited fieldwork. Corn: Ninety percent of the crop was emerged, compared with 97 percent a year ago. Fields quickly emerged in the western and northern Corn Belt, but growth was very slow due to cold nighttime temperatures. In North Dakota, 28 percent of the acreage emerged during the week. Emergence progressed between 20 and 24 percentage points in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Dakota. The condition of emerged fields deteriorated across most of the Corn Belt due to the abnormally cold weather and saturated soils. Conditions improved in the central Great Plains and southern Corn Belt, where precipitation reduced moisture shortages and temperatures were not as cold. Winter Wheat: Eighty-three percent of the acreage was at or beyond the heading stage and 3 percent was harvested. Crop development remained behind last year's rapid pace and trailed slightly behind the 5-year average. Harvest progress lagged behind last year's 6 percent, but was equal to the 5-year average. Above-normal temperatures promoted rapid development on the central and northern High Plains and interior areas of the Pacific Northwest. Cool weather limited heading progress in Nebraska and South Dakota, but fields rapidly entered the heading stage in Michigan, despite cooler-than-normal weather. Harvest was about one-fourth complete in Texas, as progress was aided by dry weather most of the week. The harvest season began in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, but progress was slow due to wet weather. Soybeans: Eighty percent of the acreage was planted, behind last year's 89-percent progress, but ahead of the 75-percent average for this date. Fifty-nine percent was emerged, compared with 78 percent a year ago. Planting was active across the northern Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great Plains due to favorably dry weather. About one-third of the acreage was planted in Wisconsin during the week, and more than one-fourth was seeded in the Dakotas. Rain sharply curtailed planting progress in Missouri and Michigan and limited progress in other areas of the southern and eastern Corn Belt. Fields rapidly emerged across most of the Corn Belt, despite colder-than-normal temperatures. Emergence advanced between 22 and 26 percentage points in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. However, growth was slow and some fields were stressed by excessive soil moisture. Cotton: Eighty-eight percent of the crop was planted, and 11 percent was squaring. Planting progress and crop development were slightly ahead of last year and the 5-year average. Heavy rain halted planting in interior areas of the Southeast and parts of the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, while delays were brief and scattered along the eastern Gulf Coast and southern Atlantic Coastal Plain. Georgia and South Carolina growers planted 11 and 14 percent of their acreage, respectively, but progress remained behind normal in both States. In Texas, planting advanced 11 percentage points, even though heavy rain limited planting in some areas and excessively dry soils hindered planting in other areas. Cotton squaring accelerated in the Southwest, especially in Arizona, due to above-normal temperatures. Hot daytime temperatures also aided development in Louisiana, where 30 percent of the acreage entered the squaring stage during the week. Heavy rain, strong winds, and large hail damaged fields in Oklahoma. Small grains: Barley and spring wheat were 97 and 95 percent planted, respectively. Last year, planting was virtually complete by this date. However, planting remained slightly ahead of the 5-year average of 95 and 94 percent for barley and spring wheat, respectively. Dry weather aided progress in North Dakota, where growers seeded 11 percent of their barley and 10 percent of their spring wheat during the week. Barley and spring wheat were 81 percent emerged, well behind last year's early emergence. However, spring wheat emergence was equal to the 5-year average, and barley emergence was just slightly behind the average for this date. About one-fifth of the barley and spring wheat acreage emerged in Minnesota and North Dakota during the week. In Montana, emergence was boosted by light precipitation. Crop conditions in Minnesota benefited from dry weather. The oat crop was 91 percent emerged, behind last year's 98-percent progress, but slightly ahead of the 90-percent average for this date. Fields rapidly emerged in North Dakota, despite cooler-than-normal weather. Emergence lagged well behind normal in Minnesota and slightly behind normal in Nebraska and Wisconsin. Rice: Ninety-four percent of the crop was emerged, compared with 93 percent at this time last year and 90 percent normally emerged by this date. Triple-digit day time temperatures promoted rapid emergence and stimulated vegetative growth in California, while below-normal temperatures slightly hampered growth in the interior Mississippi Delta. Sorghum: Planting was 71 percent complete, 3 percentage points behind last year, but ahead of the 63-percent average for this date. Widespread, heavy rainfall limited planting progress to just 4 percentage points in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. In Nebraska, growers planted more than one-fifth of their acreage during the week, despite rain delays. Planting progressed with few delays in Colorado, Illinois, and New Mexico. Other crops: The peanut crop was 92 percent planted, equal to last year and ahead of the 86 percent normally planted by this date. Planting was active in the southern Great Plains and Southeast most of the week, with rain delays mainly confined to the eastern Gulf Coast and mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain. The rain provided much-needed moisture for germinating seeds in recently planted fields and improved crop conditions in emerged fields. Fifty-one percent of the sunflower acreage was planted, compared with 67 percent planted by this date last year. Dry weather aided planting in the northern Great Plains, although progress still lagged behind normal in South Dakota.
