Weather update Monday
May 11
East side of the
Cascades got the first round of BOOMERS late
yesterday. Overall pattern will favor the occasional
thunderstorm,
scattered showers and muggy conditions, at times, through at least
Fri May 22.
If your ag operation are east of the Cascades, expect a
higher chance
for 'stormy afternoons' at times. West side patrons will get some
of the
action, although not enough to rain out any one particular day.
The cold front today
will spin wide-spread showers through later Tue.
By late week, conditions will
turn nice west of the Cascades, with pop-up
storms east side slowly diminishing
by Saturday. The weekend of May 16,
17 should start and end mild, dry. Monday
& Tue May 18, 19 damp east of
the Cascades.
No question, the
entire PNW is racing towards a 1992 copy-cat harvest
season!! Many have drawn
up the day degree calculation charts to affirm
one of the warmest years of the
past 100. Definitely the warmest year since
1992, but don't forget the super
warm 1926, 1934, 1944. Fruit processing will
begin earlier than at any time
since 1992, so if you haven't down the 'math'
yet (plant & personnel
readiness, shipping logistics, etc.), well, enough said.
Temperatures the next
two weeks will not help slow down the progress;
rather, mild overnight lows
will fuel the race.
For Eugene and area, highs in the 70’s and lows 45, with
what looks like rain
6 out of the next 10 days. More scab infection on apples
and pears. Cherry
and strawberry harvest
be aware.
Cherry fruit fly emerged in Yamhill County May 11th.
