Morning Market Weather Update For Wednesday, February 22, 2023

WORLD WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS FOR FEBRUARY 22, 2023

• Another week of poor rainfall is expected in southern Argentina and then some increase in shower activity is possible

• Bitter cold in Canada and the north-central U.S. will prevail into the weekend, but warming should follow for a few days before another round of bitter cold evolves in early March
• U.S. hard red winter wheat areas will not be harmed by the coming bitter cold because the coldest areas will get snow ahead of the coldest conditions

• Unusually warm temperatures in the southern Plains, Delta and southeastern United States will continue through the weekend and then trend a little cooler next week
• Northern Europe and northwestern Asia will turn cooler in week 2 of the outlook, but temperatures will be warm in this first week of the outlook

• Snow and some rain will fall frequently in western Russia and Ukraine to maintain high flood potentials in the spring

• Argentina is advertised to be dry through Wednesday of next week
  • Showers and thunderstorms that develop late next week are unlikely to soak the ground, but any moisture would be welcome
