(NAFB.com) – The majority of Wisconsin is experiencing abnormally dry to severe drought conditions according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. When I looked at the weather maps for the next two weeks, I was struck by how dry it’s supposed to be, according to Wisconsin State Climatologist Steve Vavrus. Even with the strong cold front over the weekend, which often brings rainfall when you have that big of a temperature change, it still looks like a pretty dry one. While dry, warm weather has been beneficial for harvest progress, Vavrus thinks conditions could become too much of a good thing. If we don’t get rain pretty soon, we’re going to start being a little concerned about soil moisture going into next year’s growing season. Once you get into late fall and winter, whatever the soil moisture is in place at that point locks in and that’s what you’re stuck with come spring next year.
