illinois Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 It is not that it kills the corn. It is trying to reproduce so it tassels prematurely and forms small ears. Normal yields here is southeastern Illinois are about 145 bu/acre the early corn that was planted in March up to mid April will be lucky to do half that and that is if it starts rain this afternoon. As for beans they have about another week to a week and a half then they too will be see reduced yields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimmesnow Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 the corn here about 20 miles north of Indianapolis is starting to tassel. It looks to be about 3 or 4 feet high. The heat kills the pollen's ability to fertilize. I remember that in 1988 when it finally did rain in mid-July, the first drops were so hot that they produced scalded spots on the corn leaves. My kids detasseled that year and the seed corn came in under average yields but the rain saved a part of that crop. When it gets very hot and dry the blooms on the soybeans just fall off without being pollinated. And that is the farm report for today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 This is so tantalizing right now, watching needed rain and convection consistently miss on all sides. My guess is Milwaukee will see 0.0" of rain between now and Tuesday night, even though the GFS shows some nice precip with the Tuesday frontal passage. Looks like a similar situation to past fronts, all the dynamics to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Looks like a broken record forecast...90F/70F for La Crosse the next week... Very July like around here. There is nothing "wet" about Saukville right now...you have had no rain this month? maybe a few drops? It must look brown and crusty in that area of Wisconsin.

turtlehurricane Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It's been weird how every single storm has found a way to dodge the region or dissipate before it gets here. Starting the month on a cool note in the upper 60s, we've been getting cooler than forecast and I think that'll be a trend for clear nights due to the dry ground. If we don't get rains by the time October comes around (3 months) then we'll be more prone to freezes killing off all the parched crops. Maybe even before that, many freezes in Madison during September with the earliest being 9/12 http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mkx/climate/climate-decode.php?SITE=msn&TYPE=extr&MONTH=sep Tomorrow will be 4 minutes shorter than the solstice.

Wow, 20s in Madison in September for record lows! The forecasted lows have been overdone it a lot of cases over the last month around here too. Edit: Corn is not looking all the great around here. The tenth of inch of rain last night is not going to cut it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Outflow from the southwest just blew through. Must have popped a storm somewhere nearby as there's been a few close claps of thunder. EDIT: Thunder crashing very close by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Picked up 0.02" from storms that essentially popped right overhead and took off to the east. Sun trying to come back out now. Noticed LOT radar is down. Wonder if the storms the other night have something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 88 °F and clouds are clearing out, prob gonna get hotter than forecast. Low was a crisp 62 °F at least. I'll believe these 70+ forecast lows when they happen, just seems too dry to keep lows up. Dew point still around 60 °F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Barely eeked by with a fifth 90-degree day in a row (with 89.5) here before the thunderstorms arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Barely eeked by with a fifth 90-degree day in a row (with 89.5) here before the thunderstorms arrived. 5th day in a row here as well. Although we did it the opposite way lol. Full sun the last few hours after the morning clouds/light precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Made it to 87*F before the crap moved in. Back down to 86*F with sprinkles. IF it moves out fast enough and no more crap blows over from the MCS, we may still get to 90*F. edit: Make that an intra-hour 88*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoar_Frost Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 5th day in a row here as well. Although we did it the opposite way lol. Full sun the last few hours after the morning clouds/light precip. Honestly, it's possible that we could get back up close to 90 again. The sun has come out good and strong here now, and there remain three hours of potential warming. We'll see.
