Changes in some agency YTD acres reflect more accurate mapping or reporting adjustments.
Predictive Services Discussion: 

A deep upper-level trough will continue to move eastward across the Intermountain West, with an associated 

cold front moving onto the High Plains this evening and overnight. Moist, southerly flow will overspread the 

southern and Colorado Rockies onto much of the High Plains from southwest Texas through the western 

Dakotas. Scattered thunderstorms are expected across these areas, with more widespread thunderstorm 

coverage over eastern New Mexico, including severe thunderstorms. Farther to the east, relative humidity will 

drop down to 20-35% across much of the Southeast, Texas, and southern into the central Plains, with breezy 

easterly to southerly winds. Scattered thunderstorms are expected over south Texas and Florida, while the rest 

of the central and eastern US remains rain-free with above normal temperatures. Below normal temperatures 

will continue for the West, and scattered precipitation is expected from the Pacific Northwest through the central 

and eastern Great Basin and much of the Rockies, including snow above 7,500 feet.
