Piddly Showers.

[agchat]

Cannot complain about to much moisture like some areas have, but it seems like we combine two days, then get a day or two off. Got showered out about noon yesterday, and went for a drive about five oclock. Kinda funny, four miles down road dust flying combines going. Couple more miles then combines are stopped again. Drive a couple more miles and dust a flying and combines going again. What is your area like?

Got a shot yesterday at noon.... just an isolated hit, had to quit desiccating(swathing) cereals for a couple of hours then were able to get back on it.

I bet some would like to have the drought conditions the Riders are experiencing now! For the "Winningest Coach" this must be a rude reality check.

First storm looked ugly gave only a 1/4 inch the second a hour later looked not as bad gave a 1/2 inch.

Oh our daily rain.

[freewheat]

Combines non existent. Welcome to a typical north east sask harvest! Enjoy!

[grefer]

Virtually no harvesting done here. Wet fog every night and showers every second day. Enough already.

[jake550]

Completely saturated here.
And another 3/4 inch yesterday on top.
Most HRS wheat sprayed and ready to go around here.
Should be some grand quality if this doesn't smarten up very soon.

Rainbows and showers

We've had rain seven days in a row. Not sure, but I don't think any harvesting was done in Central Alberta in the last week.

[tubs]

the last we combined was sunday had about 20 mm since then 1mm at the time fields are still good here would like to get the show on the road

Come on, FJ, When was the last time you saw a dry September? lol September is the snot month usually.

Cool pics, newguy.

A few barley fields taken off, I assume extremely tough. A few canola fields swathed. Lots of peas still out there, only saw one field with a little bit done.

I am still trying to make hay. Impossible though. There has been a one week window to hay, and if you missed it, you are out of luck. I was too chicken to cut too much. Now I wish I had cut it all. Ridiculous.

My attempt at a free weather forecast(worth what you paid for it!)

Trace amounts forecast Tues night, Wed, into Thursday for a few areas. Up to a tenth possible in a small area of the southeast and northeast during that time.

Some forecast models are showing showers for next Friday over extreme northern grainbelt areas of SK with a quarter inch or so possible for the extreme northeast Sk grainbelt area. Then over night Friday into Saturday morning heavier amounts (upwards of 2 inches) are forecast for northeastern SK well out of the ag area.

Bias by quadrant for the next 10 days Driest to Wettest: SW-NW-SE-NE

Humidity a factor the next ten days. Monday and Thursday look like the best for some areas but not province wide.

Depending on how wet your location is right now, should be able to do some harvest in the next while but it might not test dry.

These models are constantly changing so who knows. Sadly, it's all we got so we continue to watch and worry.

Noon Sunday: A new outlook shows still the piddly showers but no significant amounts for any area for next week. That would be great news for the northeast and those areas getting showers today. This wind is great too.
