Just saw (and heard) a flock of Sandhill cranes. The annual #migration is underway!!! Look up & listen #WestLafayette #Indiana. #sandhillcranes #nature #birds ⁦Purdue Forestry & Natural Resources⁩

Recent warmup has people anxious to get outside & let #spring2022 begin. Had a report today of soybeans being planted in Clinton County, IN. This is not advised. Be informed w/ MRCC VIP Freeze Probability Maps ⤵️ mrcc.purdue.edu/gismaps/freeze… (Image: 99% chance of freeze after Mar 18)

MRCC's Vegetation Impact Program (VIP) offers freeze-related monitoring maps that you won't find anywhere else. Shown here are GDD accumulations (base 42) since last 28F freeze. You can customize the GDD base for 28F & 32F thresholds. ❄️🐛🌱 mrcc.purdue.edu/VIP/frz_maps/f…

Cool, wet conditions across the Midwest are limiting the number of days suitable for fieldwork. Map from National Agricultural Statistics Service. #agchat USDA Climate Hubs

Haboob in Iowa…makes me think of @lprokopy Stuart Carlton & the entire U2U crew traveling to the annual meeting! Fond memories 🫶

Thank you for the heads up NWS Indianapolis w/ the Special Weather Statement. Got inside just in time. Strong winds blew down neighbors mailbox, brief pea-size hail at about 2:15pm inNW Tippecanoe Co.

Here's a look back at some of the most memorable Midwest weather and climate events of 2022. ❄️🌪️🌦️🌡️🌞🥶 2-page PDF ➡️ mrcc.purdue.edu/pubs/docs/9-10… Purdue Agriculture NOAA NCEI

As we approach the spring, we're looking for additional volunteer rainfall observers across the state. Join the Indiana CoCoRaHS team and help us better measure precipitation. Visit CoCoRaHS.org for more information. #INwx

I can't remember a week in April when the entire state had exactly no measurable precipitation. Quite a rarity in Illinois. #ilwx

For the lower Midwest, only ~10% of all last 28F freeze dates occur later than mid-to-late- April. We're still a ways off from the "latest last freeze" but venturing into rare territory. Explore historical last Spring freeze dates w/ the Freeze Date Tool mrcc.purdue.edu/freeze/freezed…

June #MidwestClimate summary in 1 word: DRY. 8 of 9 states had below-average rainfall, with 4 landing in the top 10 driest for June. A couple counties in southern Wisconsin had the driest June on record! 👀Explore more maps & rankings via NOAA NCEI at ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitor…

Meet our newest MCC member! We’re very excited to have Zack on board as the new Missouri state climatologist🎉

It's here! Midwesterners can now view soil temperature climatology right here: mrcc.purdue.edu/clim/Soil-T

Are you wanting average dates for soil temperatures across the Midwest, but for a variety of temperature thresholds? Good thing our Soil Temperature Climatology tool has a dropdown feature that lets you do exactly that! Try it yourself here▶️mrcc.purdue.edu/clim/Soil-T

While the weather is cooperating today, not all past Veterans Days had blue skies. Do you remember just four years ago, when Iowa and Illinois had 3-5" of snow and temperatures in the teens? Snow & cold records were broken from Quad Cities to Chicago!

Survey for Wisconsin farmers: What weather/climate data do you need for your management decisions? The Indiana State Climate Office and Midwestern Regional Climate Center are seeking advice. Please let us service providers know how to help! purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e3…
