Precipitation Forecast and 7-Day Average Soil Temperatures

4/22/2014

1 Comment

 
The map immediately below is the 7-Day average soil temperature (at 4 inches, on bare soil) ending yesterday for Nebraska.  Most of the state has rebounded to be within a few degrees of normal.  The bottom map is the Quantitative Precipitation Forecast for the 6 hour period ending Thursday at 2 am.  A system will move through Wednesday afternoon/evening which will bring in chances of severe weather and measurable precipitation for the eastern half of the state.  It will cool off Thursday and the cooler weather will hang around for another 7-10 days.

What does a potential El Nino mean for you?

4/8/2014

0 Comments

 
Last month the Climate Prediction Center predicted ENSO neutral conditions through the spring of 2014 and a 50% chance of an El Nino developing during the summer or fall.  What does this mean for our temperature and precipitation patterns?  The maps below (top-temperature, bottom-precipitation) show the trends and anomalies associated with an El Nino.  In layman's terms, the left side of the maps below show the average anomaly from normal conditions, the recent trend of these anomalies, and the combination of the average anomaly and the trend.  The right side of the map shows the frequency (basically the confidence) that these results materialize in a given El Nino event.

Soil Temperatures for High Plains as of April 6

4/7/2014

0 Comments

 
Below are maps from the High Plains Regional Climate Center for the High Plains Soil Temperatures at 4 inches.  The top map is the one day soil temperature as of April 6th and the bottom map is the 7 day average soil temperature.  There has been a big jump in soil temperatures the last few days, which is evident by these maps.  The short-term forecast will keep these soil temperatures increasing for most of Nebraska.  Keep in mind that these temperatures are taken on bare soil, so in-field conditions will differ dramatically.
