Dynamic Predictables calls for cool temperatures in April.
April 2008 temperatures will be chilly across the northern half of the nation. The south will be seasonal. Moisture will be typical except along coastal areas where heavier rains are expected. PR9.NET March 18, 2008 - Columbia, Missouri - like March, will be cooler than usual across the northern half of the continental US. There will be some variability in the Pacific Northwest although it will still be on the cool side of average much like the Cascades. The southern half of the nation will experience near average temperatures. The April 2008 precipitation prediction will be near average across the nation's midsection. Heavier than usual moisture is expected in coastal areas, including the Pacific Northwest, California, the eastern Gulf coast and the eastern seaboard from Florida to New England. While not as extreme as March, April's weather based energy demands will be stronger than usual especially from the Lakes to New England keeping some pressure on price although economic conditions may be overriding. While considered outside the meteorological winter months, April still accounts for about 10 percent of the seasons heating fuel demand in a normal year. The sharp difference from daytime highs to overnight low will force growers to continue to monitor grain storage bins for condensation collection along bin walls. Livestock stress levels will be elevated as the birthing season approaches, and moist soils will add to the discomfort. The dormant winter wheat crop will face some difficulties with episodic cold. Spring moisture in the Southern Plains will be about seasonal, but there is a current soil moisture deficit south, and heavier moisture would have been beneficial. California planting and vegetable operations will enjoy typical temperatures, but the southern vegetable regions will see more showery interruptions for field work. Cool temperatures could keep a chill on northern consumers, slowing spring buying hopes especially for early summer season clothes, even as the south celebrates warmer temperatures. There should be significant regional buying pattern differences from north to south this month. Footfall in the north could be higher as cool temperatures urge buyers into large enclosed malls especially where shopping is entertainment. Rain gear should be in demand along both coasts. This will be the wettest month of the year for the parched southeast, but drought ending conditions will not continue.
