The Drought Monitor report is easy this week. No real change except for a slight intensification in extreme southwest Kansas. The six to ten day outlook (April 21-25) has above normal precipitation and temperatures for the state. Corn producers want those warmer temperatures for corn planting. The warmer temperatures starter this weekend will also help wheat producers evaluate potential freeze damage from the extremely cold temperatures last weekend. Was there any significant damage to the wheat crop? Likely in spots where the primary tillers and some of the secondaries had jointed. The fields that were lagging behind in development should have fared better. Looking out eight to 14 days (April 23 to 29) also indicates above normal precipitation and temperatures. Does this means the frost danger is over? Hopefully, but we have snow in recent years the first of May. The 30-day outlook (May) is for of equal chances of below or above normal temperatures and above normal precipitation with the 90 day (May through August) outlook predicting equal chances of above or below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation.
