May Weather Keeps Acting Like April Across Regions
The May weather pattern resembled April over much of the U S with varied conditions. Cooler than normal in the northeast and interior valleys, warmer elsewhere. Wet Mississippi Valley weather delays farm work in places like Iowa where corn planting slowed after a week of ahead progress. Prospects for winter wheat improved with the rain aiding other spring crops. Rain in the east was not enough to end drought, but forest fire danger lessened. Southern Plains welcomed rain turning mud to arable fields.
