California had unusually warm totals with southern rains. heavy precipitation hit New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. Winter wheat in Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas remained in good condition though forecasts for Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio were cautious as snow melt approaches. Pacific coast winter wheat was generally favorable except Washington suffered freezing. Extreme cold in the Upper Mississippi and Lower Missouri valleys damaged fruit buds, peaches mainly, while Atlantic coast buds appeared less affected.
