Weather models .. June 5th ish

[sumdumguy]

June 5-10 will still be ok. Germinated grain will hang on and wait for rain for awhile. There is moisture down below so the roots on most crops will keep it alive except for cereals. In 1980 with no rain until July 18, the wheat could not tiller and even though it headed out, when you touched it with the header, you can imagine.

think with the frost setback big area of hay crops will be in trouble more so than seeded crops if June is not a wet one.

By decent you mean dry?

Northeast Saskatchewan needs to be rain free until June 10th.

June 15 for here , another 6 tenths today and not over
where u at Oliver 88?

Isn't it amazing how much more predictable and accurate wind forecasting is than rain! ....sigh, 50-70 here today! **** off....

that's what I've noticed they are always bang on for the wind

Weathertab says 77-84% chance this Tuesday and Wednesday for Regina. Hope that's not Regina, Italy.

I'm starting to think he can beat the Shit for brains from the east. His biggest challenge will be the media. Stay away from gay and abortion issues it's a non issue for most.

"There it is.... "again", RAIN, "outright rain" in the forecast five days away! Ya ya ya, lived through this before. From rain to 60% chance to 30% chance to zilch to 30% to a few drops, define "rain". Just east of here about 8 miles some people were lucky enough to get about a quarter inch in pop-up showers yesterday afternoon, (im)patiently waiting my turn!


Sincerely yours, Frustrated.

Insaw that cloud, thought it was you, too bad, well we are in the same boat - dry docked for now. i was just dreaming of a nice rain and the green rows. Right now everything is hiding in the furrow. Been here before, never liked it many times in past 35 years. 😬

I hear ya farma. We are now doubling down (reseeding canola) in the dust with an eye to Friday. It says windy and rain....I too am doubtful!

[Ache4Acres]

Yep....poof!! You called it farma.

Friday rain vanished from forecast and Is now chance showers saturday.

A4A..... seen it too many times to put absolutely any faith or hope in that type of forecast. One day at a time. I don't like being set up for disappointment so I put no stock in long term forecasts, if you can consider 5 days long term.

Just like some other facets of our Industry, forecasters lose credibility when they continually predict or assess things that aren't or never come true....inconsistencies, irregularities, unreliable, ....
