Harvest Weather Outlook: Mild Fall Expected

September 22, 2024

What kind of weather can we expect in the coming months for harvest season? Let’s find out from Bam Wx meteorologist Bret Walts.

I think fall is mild overall. Early and late, there could be some cold shots. I do think there are plenty of dry stretches for harvest especially across the southern half of the United States. I think the Ohio Valley is a spot that starts dry and could get wetter with time. We’ll need to watch for drought expansion in the southern and central Plains. In terms of La Nina, we have to watch the orientation. If we set up those colder waters more towards South America, it could allow fall to end on a colder note as a whole.”  

That was from a recent No-Till Farmer webinar. Bret also expects December to be the coldest winter month according to his latest models.
