For farmers who need warm and dry conditions to harvest crops or to clean up from this week’s winds, this coming week should make them much happier than last week. Most areas in the Southeast will receive less than an inch of rain this week due to the combination of subsiding air around Hurricane Jose, which is moving up the East Coast offshore this week and is not expected to hit us, and high pressure across the eastern half of the country. The lack of rain won’t be as good for farmers who need extra rain for their peanuts and soybeans, though. Take advantage of the dry conditions, since rain looks like it may pick up again near the end of the month.
