Agricultural meteorologist Paul Brown says current long-range weather forecasts suggest a warm weather bias this summer along with a possible above-normal monsoon precipitation followed by a potentially wet El Niño winter in the West.
These forecasts could be wet answers to parched prayers for western farmers dealing with reduced surface water allocations and smaller-sized crops caused by extended drought.
If the wet predictions hold water, some growers may need to harvest crops either on time this fall or harvest their cornucopia earlier.
