World Weather Inc. anticipates scattered showers and cooler temps with a frontal passage through Argentina during the middle of next week but amounts and coverage levels won’t be enough to halt crop stress. South American crop consultant Dr. Michael Cordonnier told us this morning he anticipates lowering his Argentine soybean and corn crop estimates next week.
Southern Brazil is also likely to remain mostly dry into the middle of next week, with some potential for scattered showers by the latter part of this week. Growing conditions will remain mostly favorable in other areas of Brazil, though rainfall could be too prevalent in some locations.
World Weather says there will be a notable decline in the cool waters at the surface of the eastern equatorial Pacific over the next two to four weeks as La Niña fades, which will bring better rainfall potential to Argentina, though that would be too late for some of the country’s crops.
