HIGHLIGHTS: With weak upper-air steering currents, the remnants of Tropical Storm Allison meandered slowly northeastward during the week, dumping moderate to heavy rains (up to a foot) on portions of the western Gulf Coast States and along the southeastern and middle Atlantic coasts. As a result, localized flooding was reported in the eastern Gulf Coast and southern mid-Atlantic regions in the wake of last week's deluge in the western and central Gulf Coast regions. Fortunately, drier weather returned to the hardest-hit areas from eastern Texas to southern Mississippi, allowing flood recovery efforts to proceed. Despite all of the recent Southern wetness, Allison has been instrumental in significantly reducing or alleviating long-term precipitation deficits that date back to 1998 in some locations. Farther north, a warm, wet weather pattern, punctuated by several rounds of severe thunderstorms, prevailed in the Midwest, promoting winter wheat maturation and rapid summer crop growth, but causing additional fieldwork delays. Especially hard-hit was the western and northern Corn Belt, with numerous reports of hail and high winds (and occasional tornadoes) on June 11-14 and June 16-17. Weather conditions sharply contrasted across the Plains, ranging from snow in parts of Montana to record heat in west Texas. Early-week triple-digit highs reached as far north as southern Nebraska, aiding winter wheat maturation and harvesting, but increasing stress on pastures and summer crops. On the northern Plains, the month's second intense storm system provided beneficial moisture for previously drought-stressed pastures and small grains, but unseasonably low readings (weekly departures of -7 to -3 deg F) slowed crop development. Cool, unsettled conditions prevailed in the Northwest, preserving already-limited moisture reserves, while seasonable temperatures in California and the Southwest replaced the previous week's record heat, favoring fieldwork and easing irrigation demands. As the week commenced, the remnants of Tropical Storm Allison completed its counter-clockwise loop over southeastern Texas and re-emerged over the western Gulf of Mexico, triggering locally heavy showers and thunderstorms across the central Gulf Coast. By Monday, Allison's low-level circulation center was over Louisiana's Lake Pontchartrain as copious rains drenched extreme southern Mississippi and Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. Tallahassee, FL, measured a record 8.17 inches of rain on June 11, which also included an all-time 24-hour total of 10.13 inches (June 11-12), breaking the old mark of 9.47 inches set on September 20-21, 1969. While the Southeast got soaked, record heat baked the southern and central High Plains, with Hobbs, NM (107 deg F), Midland, TX (104 deg F), and Goodland, KS (100 deg F), setting record highs on Monday. Farther north, the first in a series of severe weather outbreaks hit the northern Plains and upper Midwest, generating hundreds of reports of large hail and high winds from North Dakota to Illinois. As a cold front edged eastward into the northern Great Plains, much colder air invaded the Northwest. On Tuesday, record lows were set at Wenatchee, WA (43 deg F), Salt Lake City, UT (38 deg F), and Ely, NV (28 deg F), while several Northwest locations also established record low maximum temperatures (40 deg F at Meacham, OR, and 53 deg F at Walla Walla, WA). Another day of severe weather, including several tornadoes, affected numerous locations from Wyoming to Iowa. By early Wednesday, Allison's remnants entered western South Carolina after dropping 2 to 6 inches of rain across central Georgia. In the Nation's mid-section, strengthening low pressure was centered over Nebraska, with a cold front trailing into the Southwest. This volatile situation triggered several supercell thunderstorms from Kansas to Minnesota, with at least 45 reports of tornadoes. North and west of the low pressure center, heavy rains fell on the northern Rockies and Plains, with snow in higher elevations of the northern Rockies. Record June 13 rainfall amounts included 2.27 inches at Billings, MT (sixth greatest total ever), and 0.71 inches at Williston, ND. In the West, unseasonably cold air persisted into Friday morning, with at least 55 daily record lows and 31 daily record low maximum temperatures set during June 13-15. As the cold front trekked eastward on Thursday, a long line of severe thunderstorms erupted from the southern Great Plains into the upper Midwest (4th straight day), and were most notable for the derecho event (strong, damaging winds) it produced. By late Thursday into Friday, Allison had slowed and weakened over eastern North Carolina, although it still helped set a new June 14 Raleigh-Durham, NC, rainfall record with 1.41 inches. By the week's end, the remnants of Allison, stalled over southeastern Virginia, briefly re-intensified, triggering heavy showers and thunderstorms and some flooding over portions of the mid-Atlantic. Northeastern North Carolina was hardest hit, where 6 to 10 inches of rain fell from Thursday into Sunday. The Midwestern cold front, although weakened, tracked eastward to the Appalachians by Saturday evening, interacting with and accelerating the remnants of Allison northeastward toward southern New England. June 16 rainfall records included 1.62 inches at Wilmington, DE, and 1.64 inches at Washington, DC. Heavy thunderstorms also erupted well north and south of Allison courtesy of the cold front, setting additional Saturday rainfall records at Florence, SC (3.67 inches), and Binghamton, NY (3.57 inches), the latter an all-time record total for a calendar day (previous mark was 3.50 inches on September 27, 1985). Farther west, another round of severe weather (mainly hail and wind) battered the North-Central States on Saturday and Sunday, triggered by stalled frontal boundaries. Drier weather returned to Hawaii, although daily light windward showers (generally 0.1 to 0.3 inches) dampened the orographically favored eastern portions of the Big Island and Oahu. Light showers also fell on Lihue during the latter half of the week, but most leeward locations of Hawaii observed little or no rainfall. Temperatures were generally seasonable, except on the Big Island where cooler-than-normal conditions prevailed. In Alaska, scattered light showers were found at most locations, with temperatures averaging slightly below normal in southeastern and western sections, and slightly above normal in northern and southern portions of the State. On Saturday, warm air (70s deg F) pushed northward into southern and central Alaska, even reaching 80 deg F at Talkeetna and Skwentna. National Agricultural Summary June 11 - 17, 2001 Highlights: The remnants of tropical storm Allison delivered much-needed moisture to the eastern Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coastal Plains. The slow moving system nearly erased topsoil moisture shortages and significantly diminished subsoil moisture shortages. However, some low-lying areas experienced severe flooding. In the Corn Belt, crops favorably responded to above-normal temperatures. However, rain further delayed completion of planting across the northern and western Corn Belt. Small grains and forages in the northern High Plains benefited from precipitation, although cool weather limited growth. Corn: Crop conditions in the Corn Belt were boosted by above-normal temperatures, especially east of the Mississippi River. The much-needed heat accelerated vegetative growth and removed excessive moisture in many areas. As soggy fields dried, plants exhibited a noticeably healthier color. However, stands remain spotty and uneven in some fields. Dryland fields in the southern Great Plains suffered due to moisture shortages, while fields in the Southeast received much-needed rainfall at the critical reproductive and ear-filling stages. Winter Wheat: Ninety-five percent of the acreage was at or beyond the heading stage and 21 percent was harvested. By this time last year, 98 percent was headed and 32 percent was harvested. Normally, 95 percent would be headed and 18 percent would be harvested by this date. Fields rapidly advanced to the heading stage in the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest, despite below-normal temperatures. In South Dakota, heading remained well behind normal even though more than one-third of the acreage entered the heading stage during the week. Harvest accelerated in the southern Great Plains and lower Mississippi Valley, especially in Arkansas and Oklahoma, where growers reaped 45 percent of their acreage during the week. In Missouri, more than one-fourth of the acreage was harvested during the week, mainly due to progress in the Bootheel. Harvest began in parts of the central Great Plains and eastern Corn Belt. Soybeans: Ninety-two percent of the crop was planted and 83 percent was emerged, compared with 96 percent planted and 92 percent emerged by this time last year. Normally, 90 percent of the acreage would be planted by this date. Rain limited planting progress in the western Corn Belt, northern Great Plains, and Atlantic Coastal Plains. Iowa growers planted 10 percent of their acreage, even though delays of various duration were widespread across the State. Planting was most active in the interior Mississippi Delta, where rain delays were scattered and brief. Fields quickly emerged in the western Corn Belt and northern Great Plains, despite excessive topsoil moisture in many areas. More than one-fourth of the acreage emerged in South Dakota and about one-fifth of the crop emerged in Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota. Warm weather and increased sunshine improved conditions across most of the Corn Belt, especially east of the Mississippi Valley. Cotton: Thirty-four percent of the acreage was at or beyond the squaring stage, equal to last year's progress, and slightly ahead of the 31-percent average for this date. Six percent was setting bolls, compared with 7 percent last year and the average of 5 percent. Squaring rapidly progressed in the lower Mississippi Valley, advancing 40 percentage points in Louisiana and 30 percentage points in Tennessee. Progress was only slightly slower in Arkansas and Mississippi. Development also accelerated in the Southeast, although squaring remained behind normal in Georgia and the Carolinas. Crop development was most advanced in Arizona and Texas, with 10 percent of the acreage setting bolls. Heavy rainfall from the remnants of tropical storm Allison erased topsoil moisture shortages along the eastern Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coastal Plains. Most of the precipitation was beneficial for development, but some low-lying fields were flooded. Small grains: Barley and spring wheat emergence, at 99 percent complete, trailed last year's 100 percent but exceeded the average of 97 percent. In Minnesota, seasonal temperatures and ample soil moisture supplies aided rapid germination, as 16 percent of the barley and 15 percent of the spring wheat emerged. Thirteen percent of the barley was heading, behind last year's 22-percent pace, but slightly ahead of the average for this date. Spring wheat headed, at 6 percent, was well behind last year's 22-percent and slightly behind the 10-percent average for this date. More than one-half of the barley and spring wheat were headed in Washington by the end of the week, even though temperatures averaged below normal. In Idaho, barley and spring wheat at the heading stage more than doubled. Fields in Montana and South Dakota also began heading. The oat crop was 13 percent headed, far behind last year's rapid progress, but only a few days behind the 5-year average. Development was hindered by rain and lack of sunshine across the northern Corn Belt, especially in Iowa and Minnesota, where heading lagged well behind normal. In contrast, abundant sunshine accelerated development in Nebraska, where heading advanced 33 percentage points to 50 percent complete. Conditions deteriorated across much of the Corn Belt due to excessive heat and moisture. Rice: Three percent of the crop was headed, behind last year's 7-percent progress, but equal to the 5-year average. Seasonal temperatures and ample water supplies favored development in the Mississippi Delta and western Gulf Coast. Heading was slightly ahead of normal in Louisiana and slightly behind normal in Texas. In California, growers sprayed fields to reduce weed and insect populations. Sorghum: Planting was 89 percent complete, behind last year's 91-percent progress, but ahead of the 86-percent average for this date. Planting was active in the Great Plains most of the week, but widespread light showers and scattered heavy precipitation forced some delays. Planting was slow in the central Corn Belt, but remained well ahead of normal in Illinois. Rain and persistent wetness limited progress in Missouri, while dry soils delayed progress in New Mexico and Texas. Other crops: Twelve percent of the peanut crop was pegging, slightly ahead of last year and the average of 9 and 11 percent, respectively. In Florida, fields quickly entered the pegging stage. Heavy rainfall provided mostly beneficial moisture along the eastern Gulf Coast. Conditions deteriorated in North Carolina due to excessive rain and soil moisture, while strong winds and blowing sand were detrimental to fields in Texas. Eighty-eight percent of the sunflower acreage was planted, compared with 93 percent planted by this date last year. Dry weather aided rapid planting in the central Great Plains, while rain limited progress in the northern Great Plains.
