Worsening Dry Conditions Forecast for Great Plains Next Two Weeks

Very little rain or snow is forecast to fall over the Great Plains during the next two weeks. 

Over most of this region, the Palmer Drought Index as of November 21 shows increasing dryness. 

The 2022 winter wheat crop is off to a generally good start but that will be jeopardized unless significant rain occurs in the next few weeks. 

Update: NWS' 3-4 precipitation outlook valid Dec 14 to end of the month.

Not good news in the Great Plains but great news in the West.
