The Agriculture Department forecast 1977 Soviet grain output at 215 million metric tons, with wheat up notably. This would mark the third largest harvest on record after 223.8 million in 1976 and 222.5 million in 1973, aided by favorable weather though some spring crop areas need rain.
The National Weather Service forecast calls for showers in the Rockies and northern Plains and in the Northeast. Cooler temperatures are expected in the Northeast while warmer conditions prevail elsewhere across the country.
Forecast shows partly cloudy and warm conditions through Thursday with a slight chance of storms tonight. Temperatures range from 60s tonight to highs in the 90s on Thursday, with Tuesday expected at 80/56. Sunrise 5 56, sunset 8 46.
