Midwest is drier Thursday, and wetter Saturday. Rains in northwestern areas today should result in only very limited improvements in moisture, mainly in western IA and northeastern NE.

Temperatures are unchanged.
-Plains are drier Thursday. Drier weather across west central areas through the weekend will allow moisture shortages to begin to rebuild there. However, drier weather in southeastern areas should allow wetness there to ease a bit. The 6-10 day outlook is unchanged. The 11-15 day outlook is drier in northern areas, and wetter in western areas. Temperatures are unchanged. 
-Northern Plains/Prairies are wetter Saturday. Rains in the southeastern Prairies and northeastern Plains late week and over the weekend will slow spring wheat harvesting a bit. The 6-10 day outlook is unchanged. The 11-15 day outlook is drier in the northern Plains. Temperatures are unchanged.
-Delta is drier in far southern areas in the 6-10 day period. Drier weather in northern areas is allowing wetness there to ease. Drier weather in central areas is allowing corn drydown to progress well, but moisture is declining for soybeans. The 6-10 day outlook is drier in far southern areas. Temperatures are unchanged. The 11-15 day outlook is drier in eastern areas. Temperatures are unchanged.
-No changes for Argentina. Showers in Santa Fe and Entre Rios over the next few days should improve moisture a bit for wheat growth. However, dryness will continue in La Pampa, Cordoba, and Buenos Aires. Frost is expected across much of the region later this week and this weekend. The 6-10 day outlook is unchanged today.
-No changes for Brazil. Rains in southern areas this weekend will maintain moisture for wheat. Dryness in northern areas has stressed wheat, but wheat growth will be finishing up in the next few weeks. The 6-10 day outlook is slightly drier in central areas.
-No changes for Europe. Dryness continues to stress late growth of sunflowers and corn in southeastern areas, but some slight improvements are expected there next week.
-No changes for FSU. Moisture will remain short across south central and western Ukraine and southwestern Central Region. Corn growth is finishing up, but rains are needed there soon to build moisture ahead of winter wheat planting.
-No changes for China. Rains should continue to build across south central and eastern Yangtze Valley through the weekend, which will improve moisture and conditions for late crop growth. Some slight improvements are also expected n southern North China Plain this weekend and next week, although more rains will still likely be needed to end dryness in southeastern North China Plain.
-No changes for Australia. Continued drier weather in northern New South Wales, Queensland, and northern wheat areas of Western Australia will allow moisture shortages and crop stress to build further. Some slight improvements will be possible in northern wheat areas of Western Australia next week.
-No changes for India. Rains should maintain sufficient moisture in central and northern crop areas. More limited rains in southern areas will allow dryness there to slowly increase again, although no major stress on groundnuts is expected yet.
