The LRC At The End Of May
The pattern is right on schedule
Welcome to the Weather 20/20 weather intelligence newsletter. This is the free version. I am currently working on the pay version report which will be out with much more detailed information, which is only $50/month or $300/year at the current discounted rate. This will be ready by Saturday!
This next storm moving into the middle of the nation is right on the LRC schedule. It is producing a severe weather risk the next couple of days over Kansas and the plains.
Farther north, the storm will impact areas of the northern and central plains with heavy rain, thunderstorms, and some snow again over parts of North Dakota.
LRC-Model Forecast for North Dakota: May 15 - September 30
As you can see above, North Dakota is forecast by our patent-pending LRC model to receive near 100% of their average rainfall through the summer and up to 140% over eastern sections of this state.
I will be diving deeper into North Dakota, Minnesota, and Kansas in the paid version of this weather intelligence report. This update will be posted by April 30th after we do a bit more analysis of the pattern, look at the requests from the customers, and get specific into a few counties.
Thank you for joining!

What’s the moisture looking like for South Dakota the next few months?
Gary, are you also thinking about doing a report for the western Corn Belt like Nebraska and Iowa? Especially, since farmers are finally getting into the fields and this LRC has been very tough on Nebraska. Severe to extreme drought is in place for a good chuck of Nebraska and it's only late April! Plus record low snowfall this winter!
I've been wondering if Nebraska is what North Dakota was in 2021? However, the beginning of cycle #1 in October dropped impressive rain totals for the eastern half of Nebraska into Iowa and we had the most tornadic day of 2021 on December 15th for Nebraska, if you recall. North Dakota did not have the wet October in 2020. So as eastern Nebraskan, I'm a bit perplexed... Is this year a wash (or should I say big drought) or is there hope with seasonal change or is the drought sort of going to be benign and confined to central & western NE. Just curious to what your thoughts are since this is a big corn and cattle producing area!
