The weather pattern has flipped in Illinois. Some drier days are in the forecast for the next couple of weeks. “Most of the state is pretty well stocked with soil moisture,” said DTN agriculture meteorologist John Baranick during a Tuesday visit with RFD Radio. Plenty of rain impacted the state during April, especially in the southern portion. However, less active weather will be the main feature through mid-May. “There’s really nothing going on that would cause a bunch of rain to fall,” he said.

As the calendar turns to May, much of Illinois can expect a good run of dry weather. But more rain remains in the forecast at least through this week. “We’ve done a nice job of catching up on our rain totals during April in many parts of the state,” said Freese-Notis Weather meteorologist Paul Otto during a Tuesday conversation with RFD Radio. “And many areas are five or so inches above normal.”Weather will stay active through later this week.

Models are showing above-normal temperatures and above normal precipitation for the remainder of spring. “Warmer and wetter for May and the rest of spring,” said Illinois State Climatologist Trent Ford during a Tuesday conversation with RFD Radio. “For the temperature we’re not seeing a lot of signals for a late spring cooldown.”Even with wetter than normal conditions, Ford does anticipate that the warmer temperatures will provide opportunities for spring field work and planting.

It's not what southern Illinois farmers want to hear: “Unfortunately, we’re looking at the potential for some heavy rainfall across southern Illinois again," DTN Ag Meteorologist John Baranick told RFD Radio. “A front comes through on Friday that kind of gets stuck across the south for Saturday,” he said.

Isabella "Issy" Bunting has been doing a lot of that during her senior year. And graduation is approaching for the Illinois Farm Bureau Actively Engaged Student of the Month for April. “I am looking back to the freshman year and the things I took part in and where I am now in my senior year,” she said.
