Lots of dry pockets

I think it is safe to see that with the rain potential over the next couple days, it's going to be another week or 3 before we see much, if any drop in crop ratings.  

We are supposed to get some rain this afternoon, we shall see.  It's missed us here in Akron all week.  

Thanks Jim,

Rains have underperformed models and forecast the past 2 months.

Much of the guidance turns it very warm(hot west) and dry in week 2................but the just out, 12z Canadian model still has rains coming early in week 2 with a powerful cold front surging south from Canada and a wet southern stream aimed at the Plains/WCB/SW belt from an upper low out west.

If this would verify, and get as far south as TX, cotton would be limit down for a couple of days.

Cotton prices have been soaring along with widespread 100+ heat in cotton country/TX

Day 5
[Contours Only]

yes Mike ,ripped to the bone. 2.10th one day and road got wet another. Kicker was when the front came thru it took down 4 trees in brothers yard which took 5 hours to clean all to watch the rain disappear again

 Back to 1950, May of 2018 came in with the highest nationally averaged cooling degree days as well as lowest nationally averaged heating degree days on record for any May. The only cooler than normal were in S FL and the Southern Calif. coast.
