Smoke and haze from the Canadian Fires fallout continue to inhibit visibility and safe breathing across the northeast quadrant of the U.S. The RRFS model projects the most-dense smoke/haze at midday today across New England, clearing out of the Mid-Atlantic States tomorrow, and regenerating in the Midwest States Wednesday.

Evaporative drought demand index did a good job recognizing the fire risk to Canada and maintains a dry atmosphere/soil moisture combination into the northeast quadrant of the U.S. during early June.

Since 1995, chilly temperature regimes in or very near the Brazil coffee growing areas during mid-winter (July) have occurred in 11 years. The average temperature anomaly of the 11 analog years is coolest just west of the coffee growing areas.

Soil moisture anomalies continue to trend drier across the Midwest U.S. Strong dryness extends from the central Great Plains to the Mid-Atlantic region. The GFS 15-day rainfall outlook maintains the dryness across most of the areas trending drier during May.
