We 1 (7-01) Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin National Agricultural Statistics Service USDA Washington, D.C. Released July 3, 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. 27 June 24 - 30, 2001 For additional information, call (202) 720-7917. Highlights: Warm, mostly dry weather arrived in the Corn Belt, aiding final soybean planting operations and promoting soft red winter wheat harvesting and summer crop development. The previously saturated northwestern Corn Belt benefited from weekly temperatures that averaged 5 to 10 degrees F above normal. Farther south, mostly dry weather also overspread the east-central Plains (eastern Kansas and northern Missouri), favoring a gradual return to fieldwork. Elsewhere on the central and northern Plains, hot weather accelerated winter wheat maturation, while scattered showers locally eased the effects of above-normal temperatures on developing summer crops. On the southern High Plains, hot, dry weather increased stress on reproductive summer crops, including corn and cotton, but allowed winter wheat harvesting to approach completion. In contrast, cool weather and locally heavy rainfall aided pastures and summer crops across the South, primarily from eastern portions of Oklahoma and Texas to the southern Atlantic Coast. A few pockets of wetness lingered, however, along and near the Gulf Coast, in areas soaked by Tropical Storm Allison's remnants in early to mid-June. Weekly temperatures averaged as much as 6 degrees F below normal in the lower Mississippi Valley. In the West, an out-of-season storm system brought widespread rainfall and cool weather (as much as 8 degrees F below normal) as far south as northern California, benefiting pastures and dryland small grains, easing the threat of wildfires, and reducing demands on already limited irrigation supplies. Toward week's end, however, hot, dry weather returned to the West. Early in the week, cool weather produced a handful of daily-record lows in the Southeast and Northwest. On Sunday, record lows included 56 degrees F in Greenville, AL, and 57 degrees F in Crestview, FL. A day later, temperatures in Oregon fell to 26 degrees F in Redmond and 33 degrees F in Eugene. Farther south, unusually heavy showers overspread northern California. Sacramento, CA, netted 0.13 inch of rain on June 25, surpassing their June normal of 0.12 inch. Locally 2 to 5 inches of rain fell in and near northern California's Shasta County. In Washington, daily-record rainfall totals were broken on June 27 in locations such as 0.64 inch in Olympia and 0.61 inch in Yakima. In the South, additional showers propelled Houston, TX (19.21 inches), and New Orleans, LA (17.62 inches), to June rainfall records. Monthly rainfall in Baton Rouge, LA, reached 21.36 inches (477 percent of normal), just shy of their June 1989 record of 23.18 inches. In contrast, record-low June rainfall totals were observed in several western and northern Texas locations, including Midland (0.01 inch) and Wichita Falls (a trace). A brief heat wave peaked across the North-Central States during the early- to midweek period. On June 24, daily-record highs in Nebraska included 101 degrees F in Alliance and 99 degrees F in Sidney. A day later, high temperatures in northern Minnesota soared to 93 degrees F in International Falls and 90 degrees F in Duluth. Temperatures had last reached or exceeded 90 degrees F in International Falls on June 28, 1996, and in Duluth on July 30, 1999. Meanwhile, dry weather overspread the western Corn Belt. In Iowa, Des Moines recorded 10 consecutive days (June 22 - July 1) without a drop of rain. The last time Des Moines experienced even 5 days without precipitation was March 2-6. Despite the frequency of precipitation, Des Moines' March-June total was 13.03 inches, or 94 percent of normal. More significant wetness was observed, however, both north and south of Des Moines. For example, year-to-date precipitation in southern Minnesota stood at 21.51 inches (158 percent of normal) in Minneapolis and 22.90 inches (174 percent) in Rochester. Meanwhile in western Missouri, Kansas City's monthly rainfall totaled 11.86 inches, eclipsing their June 1939 record of 10.99 inches, even though no measurable rain fell during the last 10 days of the month. Toward week's end, a building heat wave produced more than two dozen daily-record highs across the Intermountain West. On June 29, Moab, UT, noted their first of three consecutive record highs (107, 108, and 107oF). Grand Junction, CO, closed the month with highs of 101 degrees F on June 29 and 30, just 4 degrees F shy of their monthly record set on June 27, 1990. Beneficial showers developed across Hawaii, providing relief from recent dryness in many areas. On Kauai, Wainiha recorded a weekly rainfall of 4.46 inches, including 1.65 inches in 24 hours on June 25-26. Nevertheless, very large long-term precipitation deficits persisted in some locations, including Honolulu, Oahu, where the 44-month (November 1997 - June 2001) rainfall totaled 27.87 inches (33 percent of normal), or 56.12 inches below normal. Meanwhile in Alaska, cooler weather returned to some western areas, but near- to above-normal temperatures prevailed elsewhere. In Anchorage, high temperatures averaged 6 degrees F above normal during the week, exceeding 70 degrees F on 4 consecutive days (June 25-28). Recent warmth and dryness in Alaska allowed several wildfires to flourish, according to the National Interagency Fire Center, including an 83,000-acre blaze near Nenana and a 106,000-acre fire southwest of Fairbanks. Both fires started on June 20. June rainfall totaled just 0.65 inch (47 percent of normal) in Fairbanks and 0.33 inch (29 percent) in Anchorage. National Agricultural Summary June 25 - July 1, 2001 Highlights: A slow moving low pressure area produced daily showers and thunderstorms in the Southeast. Most of the precipitation was beneficial, but crop development and fieldwork were hindered by the persistent wet weather. Warm, dry weather provided nearly ideal growing conditions for late-planted crops across the northern Corn Belt and Great Plains. However, the heat stressed small grains on the northern High Plains, where moisture shortages increased. Cool and unseasonably wet weather prevailed in northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Dry weather aided winter grain harvest in the Great Plains and Corn Belt. Corn: Eight percent of the acreage was at or beyond the silking stage, equal to last year's progress, and slightly ahead of the 5 percent average for this date. Fields quickly progressed to the silking stage in the lower Ohio and Tennessee River Valleys, despite cooler-than-normal temperatures. More than one-third of the crop entered the silking stage in Kentucky and more than one-fourth began silking in Tennessee. Above-normal temperatures accelerated growth across the remainder of the Corn Belt, but only a few scattered fields, in Indiana and Nebraska, were at the silking stage. More than one-half of the acreage has reached the silking stage along the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain. In Texas, almost one-half of the acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, one-third was denting, and 9 percent was mature. Soybeans: Ninety-five percent of the crop was emerged and 12 percent was blooming, compared with 97 percent emerged and 17 percent blooming at this time last year. Normally, 9 percent of the acreage would be blooming by this date. In the eastern Corn Belt, virtually all of the fields were emerged and many were blooming. In Illinois and Indiana, acreage blooming was at 20 and 15 percent, respectively. Emergence lagged in Missouri and Wisconsin, and neared completion slightly later than normal in Iowa and Minnesota. Development was most advanced in the lower Mississippi Valley, where well over one-half of the Louisiana and Mississippi fields were blooming. A few fields were blooming in the northern and western Corn Belt, but progress was behind normal. Winter Wheat: Fifty-five percent of the acreage was harvested, compared with 61 percent last year and the average of 45. Harvest progressed with few rain delays in the Corn Belt and Great Plains. In Kansas, harvest progress more than doubled during the week, to 78 percent complete. Meanwhile, growers in Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri harvested about one-fourth of their acreage. The harvest season began in Colorado, Nebraska, and Ohio, but no fields have been harvested in Michigan, the northern Great Plains, or the Pacific Northwest. Harvest steadily progressed in the southern Great Plains and was nearly complete in Oklahoma. Cotton: Sixty-five percent of the acreage was at or beyond the squaring stage, behind last year's 72-percent progress but slightly ahead of the average for this date. Acreage setting bolls, at 16 percent, was equal to last year and slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Below-normal temperatures and cloudy skies limited development in the Southeast and Mississippi Delta, while seasonal temperatures and abundant sunshine aided development along the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain. In Virginia and North Carolina, acreage at or beyond the squaring stage advanced 42 and 25 percentage points, respectively. In other parts of the Southeast, squaring progressed much slower. More than one-half of the Louisiana acreage was setting bolls by the end of the week, up 40 percentage points from the previous week and more than double the 23-percent average. Small grains: Barley headed was at 40 percent, well behind last year's 52-percent pace but slightly ahead of the average. Above-normal temperatures accelerated development in the upper Mississippi Valley and northern Great Plains. Nearly one-third of the acreage entered the heading stage in Minnesota and Montana during the week. Development remained behind normal in Minnesota, but exceeded the 5-year average in Montana. Heading also lagged in North Dakota. Thirty-three percent of the spring wheat has reached the heading stage, far behind last year's 59-percent pace, but only a few days behind the 5-year average. Development remained behind normal in the Great Plains, despite above-normal temperatures. Meanwhile, progress continued ahead of normal in Idaho and the Pacific Northwest, despite cooler-than-normal weather. In South Dakota, more than one-third of the acreage progressed to the heading stage. In Idaho and Minnesota, about one-fourth entered the heading stage. The oat crop was 53 percent headed, well behind last year's progress of 78 percent but less than 1 week behind the 65-percent average for this date. Above-normal temperatures stimulated rapid development in the eastern and northern Corn Belt, but heading progress remained behind normal in most areas. Development remained well behind normal in the upper Mississippi Valley, even though more than one-third of the acreage headed during the week in Minnesota. Development was only slightly behind normal in South Dakota, where 29 percent headed during the week. About one-fourth of the acreage entered the heading stage in Iowa and Pennsylvania, but progress lagged slightly behind normal in both States. Rice: Eleven percent of the crop was headed, behind last year's 15-percent progress but equal to the 5-year average. Below-normal temperatures limited growth, especially in the lower Mississippi Valley and in California. Development remained ahead of normal along the western Gulf, where the most advanced fields were nearly ready for harvest. Sorghum: Acreage headed, at 21 percent, was ahead of last year and the average of 17 and 18 percent, respectively. Development remained well ahead of normal in the lower Mississippi Valley, despite cooler-than- -normal temperatures. Heading progress almost doubled the 5-year average of 16 and 37 percent in Arkansas and Louisiana, respectively. Above-normal temperatures promoted development in the central and northern Great Plains, but only a few fields were heading in Kansas. Cooler-than-normal temperatures slightly limited growth in the central and southern Corn Belt. Peanuts: Thirty-six percent of the peanut crop was pegging, slightly ahead of last year and the average. One-fourth of the acreage began pegging in North Carolina and almost one-fifth advanced to the pegging stage in Texas.
