Highlights: The remnants of Tropical Storm Allison departed New England early in the week, nearly 2 weeks after making landfall near Galveston, TX. However, wet weather continued across much of the East in Allison's wake, further reducing long-term precipitation deficits in the southern Atlantic region, but causing localized late-week flooding in the northern Mid-Atlantic States. Meanwhile, cooler weather spread into the southern Plains, Midwest, and South, accompanied by scattered showers. Weekly temperatures averaged 2 to 7 degrees F below normal in the upper Midwest and as much as 4 degrees F below normal across the South. Near-normal temperatures returned to Montana, following the previous week's cool, wet weather, favoring small grain development. In the western Corn Belt, pockets of unfavorable wetness continued to slow fieldwork, including final soybean planting. Farther south, heavy rain returned to eastern Kansas and western Missouri, where June wetness has caused fieldwork delays. Near-normal temperatures prevailed in the Northwest, but hot weather (temperatures 5 to 10 degrees F above normal) increased irrigation requirements in California, Arizona, and the Great Basin. However, isolated showers developed across the Four Corners region toward week's end, signaling the onset of seasonal (monsoonal) precipitation. Early in the week, cool weather lingered across the Northwest. In western Oregon, Eugene registered 7 consecutive days with low temperatures below 40 degrees F from June 13-19, breaking their June 1979 record of 4 days. Cool conditions shifted onto the Plains thereafter, resulting in more than a dozen daily-record lows. In Nebraska, record lows for June 21 were established in locations such as Alliance (36 degrees F) and North Platte (37 degrees F). Meanwhile, record heat returned to the West, where Thursday's daily-record highs included 100 degrees F in Reno, NV, and 101 degrees F in Cuyama, CA. On Saturday in Utah, Salt Lake City's low of 78 degrees F represented the city's highest minimum temperature on record in June (previously 75 degrees F on June 26, 1981). Farther south, Phoenix, AZ, noted a monsoon onset date as defined by an average dew point temperature of 55 degrees F or higher of June 21, more than 2 weeks earlier than normal. Farther east, Tropical Storm Allison's remnants produced heavy rain in the Northeast into June 17. Sunday's rainfall totals included 2.59 inches in Bridgeport, CT, and 2.41 inches in Philadelphia, PA. At midweek, heavy rain returned to the east-central Plains, propelling Kansas City, MO, to a June-record rainfall total of 11.86 inches. Nearly half (5.88 inches) of Kansas City's rain fell on June 19-20. Meanwhile, scattered showers returned to the portion of the South affected by Allison's torrential rainfall. As a result, the month-to-date rainfall total rose to 16.26 inches in New Orleans, LA, eclipsing their June 1987 record of 14.98 inches. In Texas, Houston's June-record rainfall total climbed to 17.87 inches. In contrast, increasingly dry conditions affected much of the remainder of Texas and adjacent areas. Through June 23, Midland, TX, recorded monthly rainfall totaling only a trace. Weekly temperatures ranged from 3 to 9 degrees F above normal across the southern half of Alaska, but averaged near normal in northern parts of the State. McGrath, AK, recorded 82 degrees F on June 17, just 2 days after a daily-record low of 34 degrees F. Meanwhile in Hawaii, mostly dry weather resulted in further drought intensification in most areas. During the week, no Hawaiian rain gauges recorded a 24-hour rainfall total in excess of 1 inch. National Agricultural Summary June 18 - 24, 2001 Highlights: Below-normal temperatures slightly limited crop development in the Great Plains and Corn Belt, but crop conditions improved in most areas due to favorable moisture supplies. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms periodically halted fieldwork and reduced subsoil moisture shortages in coastal areas of the Mississippi Delta and Southeast. Winter wheat harvest was aided by mostly dry weather in the Great Plains and Corn Belt. In the Southwest, hot, dry weather accelerated crop development, but increased irrigation requirements. Heavy rainfall halted fieldwork in the central Appalachians and coastal areas of the Northeast. Corn: Four percent of the acreage was at or beyond the silking stage, equal to last year's progress and slightly ahead of the average for this date. Most of the acreage was at or beyond the silking stage in the Southeast, and more than one-half was at or beyond the silking stage in Texas. Development was well ahead of normal in the southern Corn Belt and central Great Plains. Forty-four percent of Tennessee's acreage was silking, almost double the average. The Kansas crop was also entering the silking stage well ahead of normal. Although below-normal temperatures slightly limited growth, crop conditions improved across most of the Corn Belt. Soil moisture surpluses diminished in most areas, aiding development. However, increasing moisture shortages stressed some fields along the lower Ohio River Valley. Winter Wheat: Ninety-seven percent of the acreage was at or beyond the heading stage and 37 percent was harvested. Heading was slightly behind last year and the average of 99 and 98 percent, respectively. Harvest progress trailed last year's 48 percent, but was ahead of the 30-percent average for this date. Fields quickly progressed to the heading stage in the northern Great Plains, despite cooler-than-normal temperatures. In South Dakota, near one-fourth of the acreage began heading. Harvest accelerated in the Corn Belt and Great Plains, and remained active in the interior Mississippi Delta. Illinois producers harvested 40 percent of their crop during the week. Harvest neared completion in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and the adjacent Missouri Bootheel. Harvest was active in Kansas and Indiana, even though rain limited progress in some areas. Soybeans: Ninety-six percent of the crop was planted and 91 percent was emerged, compared with 97 percent planted and 95 percent emerged by this time last year. Normally, 94 percent of the acreage would be planted by this date. Planting remained active along the lower Ohio and Tennessee River Valleys, while rain limited progress in Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin. Emergence advanced more than 10 percentage points in Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota, despite cooler than normal temperatures. Conditions improved across much of the Corn Belt, due to diminishing topsoil moisture surpluses, and increased sunshine. In the lower Ohio Valley, moisture shortages stressed some fields. Cotton: Fifty-three percent of the acreage was at or beyond the squaring stage, slightly behind last year's progress, but ahead of the 48-percent average for this date. Nine percent was setting bolls, 2 percentage points behind last year, but equal to the 5-year average. Despite below-normal temperatures, fields rapidly entered the squaring stage in the interior Mississippi Delta and Southeast. Squaring advanced 40 percentage points in Missouri and 38 percentage points in Virginia. More than one-fourth of the crop began squaring in Alabama and Tennessee, and over one-fifth entered the squaring stage in Arkansas and North Carolina. Slightly less than one-fifth acreage progressed to the squaring stage in Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas. Development was most advanced in Arizona, where more than one-fourth of the crop was setting bolls. Small grains: Twenty percent of the barley, and 12 percent of the spring wheat was heading. Barley development was more than 1 week behind last year, when 37 percent was heading by this date. Spring wheat was nearly 2 weeks behind last year's pace of 40 percent headed. Normally, barley and spring wheat would be 23 percent headed at this time. Above-normal temperatures promoted rapid development in Idaho and Washington, where almost one-fifth of the spring wheat entered the heading stage during the week. Barley headed progressed 25 percentage points in Washington and 12 percentage points in Idaho. Development was hampered by cooler-than-normal weather in the upper Mississippi Valley and adjacent parts of the northern Great Plains, but spring wheat at the heading stage doubled in South Dakota, to 26 percent. The oat crop was 30 percent headed, almost 2 weeks behind last year's rapid progress, but less than 1 week behind the 5-year average. Heading progress accelerated in the Corn Belt, especially in Iowa, where 40 percent entered the heading stage during the week. More than one-third of the acreage progressed to the heading stage in Ohio, and nearly one-fourth began heading in Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. Fields also entered the heading stage in the upper Mississippi Valley, but development remained far behind normal in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Rice: Six percent of the crop was headed, more than 1 week later than last year's progress, but equal to the 5-year average. Fields quickly progressed to the heading stage along the western Gulf Coast, even though temperatures averaged slightly below normal. A few fields entered the heading stage in the interior Mississippi Delta, but none were heading in California. Sorghum: Planting was 95 percent complete, equal to last year's progress, but ahead of the 92-percent average for this date. Acreage headed, at 19 percent, was 4 percentage points ahead of last year and the average. Dry weather aided progress in Colorado and South Dakota, where planting advanced 15 percentage points. Planting was also active in Oklahoma. Rain briefly interrupted progress in Illinois, but planting neared completion well ahead of normal. Development was most advanced in Texas, where nearly one-half of the acreage was at or beyond the heading stage. Fields in the lower Mississippi Valley were slightly less advanced, but ahead of normal. Other crops: Twenty-three percent of the peanut crop was pegging, ahead of last year and the average of 18 and 20 percent, respectively. About one-fifth of the acreage began pegging in Alabama and Florida. In most other Southeastern States and in the southern Great Plains, pegging advanced more than 10 percentage points. Ninety-six percent of the sunflower acreage was planted, compared with 97 percent planted by this date last year. Planting remained active in Colorado and South Dakota. In North Dakota, planting neared completion.
