Drought caused some apples in Iowa to be ready for picking as much as three weeks earlier than normal. Cherokee Chronicle Times (Iowa), Oct 19, 2023

The Texas A&M Agronomy Society cannot offer its annual corn maze and fall festival this year, due to extreme drought this summer that killed the corn crop. The seeds were planted in July, but no rain fell for nearly three or more months with temperatures above 100°. The seeds were irrigated, but the high soil temperatures caused the water to evaporate, leaving the seeds dry. KBTX (Bryan, Texas), Oct 19, 2023

A burn ban took effect, prohibiting outdoor burning and open fires within city limits, including recreational fires in fire pits. FOX23 News (Tulsa, Okla.), Oct 19, 2023

Drinking water advisories in Plaquemines Parish have been lifted as reverse osmosis machines and barges moving millions of gallons of water were arriving to dilute the salt in the water to safe levels below 250 ppm consistently. FOX 8 (New Orleans, La.), Oct 18, 2023 The water supply for communities drawing water from the Mississippi River is being protected by an underwater barrier to block the progression of a saltwater wedge that is moving upstream since July. The saltwater is expected to overtop the current barrier sometime around Sept. 22. In June, saltwater affected the drinking water of residents in lower Plaquemines Parish, forcing them to use water provided by the parish. About 2,000 people were using the distributed water, and the parish has given out more than 1.5 million gallons of water. If the saltwater were to reach Belle Chasse, at least 20,000 more people would need potable water. The bed of the Mississippi River is below sea level throughout the entire length of Louisiana, so when drought reduces the flow of the river, the salty, denser ocean water can creep further upstream. WWNO 89.9 (New Orleans, La.), Sept 19, 2023 Plaquemines Parish has been dealing with water line breaks and the saltwater wedge in the Mississippi River for months as drought affects the region. Lower parts of Plaquemines Parish have not had clean drinking water for months due to a saltwater wedge creeping up the Mississippi River. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built an underwater sill in July to slow the movement of the wedge upstream, but the wedge is expected to push past the sill and reach Belle Chasse by October 3.

Issued at 900 PM MDT Thu Oct 19 2023 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 200241 TCDEP2 Hurricane Norma Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP172023 900 PM MDT Thu Oct 19 2023 The eye of Norma is no longer evident on conventional geostationary satellite imagery, but could still be seen on a recent SSMI/S microwave pass. Deep convection remains very strong near the estimated center with some cloud tops colder than -80 deg C. A few convective banding features are evident over the northern portion of the circulation, and upper-level outflow is still strong over most sectors of the system. The current intensity is set at 105 kt for this advisory, which is a blend of various subjective and objective satellite estimates. This is in best agreement with a recent AI-based objective Dvorak estimate from UW-CIMSS. For the next couple of days, Norma's environment will be characterized by increasing south-southwesterly vertical wind shear, associated with a broad upper-level trough near the Baja California peninsula, along with a drier mid-level air mass. These factors should cause gradual weakening while the system nears southern Baja California Sur, but it is likely that Norma will still be a hurricane when it moves near or over that area. The official intensity forecast is on the higher side of the model guidance during the early part of the forecast period, but close to the corrected model consensus, HCCA at 48 hours and beyond. Although the center fixes are a little more uncertain than earlier today, the initial motion does not appear to have changed much and is around 350/6 kt. Over the next few days, Norma is expected to move between a mid-level high to its east and a trough to the northwest and north. The track guidance models, especially the more reliable ones, have come into a little better agreement, and the NHC forecast track is close to the simple dynamical model consensus. This is also close to the previous official forecast. Key Messages: 1. A Hurricane Warning is in effect for the far southern portion of the Baja California peninsula, where Norma is expected to bring hurricane conditions on Saturday when it passes near or over the area. 2. Heavy rains from Norma will begin to impact the far southern portions of California Baja Sur on late Friday, continuing through Sunday This rainfall may produce flash and urban flooding, along with possible mudslides in areas of higher terrain.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Hurricane Warning is in effect for... * Baja California Sur from Todos Santos to Los Barriles A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * North of Los Barriles to La Paz * North of Todos Santos to Santa Fe * Las Islas Marias A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. A warning is typically issued 36 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours. Interests elsewhere in Baja California Sur and along the west coast of mainland Mexico should monitor the progress of Norma. Additional watches or warnings could be required tonight or on Friday. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 900 PM MDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Norma was located near latitude 18.2 North, longitude 108.1 West. Norma is moving toward the north near 7 mph (11 km/h). A turn to the north-northwest at a similar forward speed is expected during the next couple of days. A slower northward to northeastward motion is forecast later this weekend. On the forecast track, Norma is forecast to approach the southern portion of Baja California on Friday night and Saturday. Maximum sustained winds are near 120 mph (195 km/h) with higher gusts. Norma is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some weakening is expected during the next few days, but Norma is forecast to be a hurricane when it moves near the southern portion of Baja California. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 948 mb (28.00 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Norma can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP2 and WMO header WTPZ42 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDEP2.shtml WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected within the warning area in Baja California Sur by early Saturday, with tropical storm conditions beginning late Friday night. Tropical storm conditions are possible in Las Islas Marias Friday and Friday night, and in the watch areas in Baja California Sur on Saturday. RAINFALL: Norma is likely to produce rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches with local maxima of 15 inches through Sunday across the far southern portion of Baja California Sur. These rains will likely produce flash and urban flooding, along with possible mudslides in areas of higher terrain. STORM SURGE: A storm surge could produce coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds within the hurricane warning area. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. SURF: Swells generated by Norma are affecting portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico and Baja California Sur, and will spread northward along the coast of western Mexico and the Baja California peninsula during the next couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0733 PM CDT Thu Oct 19 2023 Valid 200100Z - 201200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... The risk of severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S. through tonight. ...01Z Update... Scattered thunderstorm development has been increasing in a general corridor near/southwest of Louisville KY into areas around the Nashville TN vicinity. This is in the wake of an initial mid-level perturbation shifting from the lower Ohio Valley into the lower Great Lakes, and ahead of another strengthening impulse forecast to continue digging southeast of the Upper Midwest through the lower Ohio and Tennessee Valleys by late tonight. Aided by a narrow corridor of modest low-level moistening, within a zone of enhanced low-level warm advection, it appears that ongoing activity may slowly spread eastward across portions of central Kentucky and middle Tennessee through 03-05Z before diminishing. Overnight, additional thunderstorm development is possible as forcing for ascent refocuses southeastward into the southern Appalachians vicinity. Despite the presence of at least modest shear, it still appears that thermodynamic profiles characterized by only modest steepening of lapse rates, coupled with the limited moisture return, will minimize the risk for severe hail and/or wind. ..Kerr.. 10/20/2023 Read more

Hot, dry weather at the end of the growing season resulted in corn yields that were lower than expected. The October NASS corn yield estimates were several bushels per acre lower than the previous two months. The lower yield estimates for the Western Corn Belt led to the lower national corn yield estimate of 173.0 bpa in the October NASS report. Late season drought and heat in 2000 and 2010 also brought the yield down at the end of the season. DTN – Progressive Farmer (Burnsville, Minn.), Oct 19, 2023

An ethanol plant in Laddonia needed feedstocks because the yield of the corn grown in the vicinity of the plant was about 50% of normal, due to drought. A lot of corn had already been transported to the plant from other parts of Missouri. For a time, the Laddonia ethanol plant was offering 60 cents more than grain elevators along the Mississippi River at St. Louis. This was a highly unusual marketing strategy to get farmers to sell their corn to the plant rather than elsewhere. Brownfield Ag News (Jefferson City, Mo.), Oct 13, 2023
