WORLD WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS FOR JUNE 11, 2023

• U.S. Midwest precipitation will continue lighter than usual over the next ten days, although mild temperatures early this week will conserve soil moisture for a little while
• Ridge building is expected over a part of the U.S. Plains and western Corn Belt during the second week of the outlook which may warm temperatures and keep rainfall lighter than usual

• China dryness may expand to the southwest from interior eastern Inner Mongolia over the balance of June
