The weather pattern that we are currently in has a big high pressure center over the southern part of the region. This is preventing any development of rain in most of the region except northern Alabama and North Carolina and Virginia. This pattern will keep most of the Southeast dry this week except for a few showers later in the week in areas that are under the high pressure dome. A little more rain is expected in week 2 but the pattern is generally expected to continue for the next two or three weeks, so dryland fields may see some negative impacts, especially because the high pressure and lack of clouds will help the temperatures climb. Those of you with irrigation will want to be watching the soil moisture levels carefully to make sure your crops are getting the right amount of water.
