Markets
There are no official reports due Tuesday, but traders will be keeping a close eye on weather and any trade news that might emerge. Trading in grains is apt to be quiet ahead of Thursday's WASDE report, especially if the extended forecast continues to look safely warm for row crops.
Weather
Lingering shower activity early Tuesday over the north and west Midwest and the northern part of the central plains region will diminish somewhat during the morning hours. Rain, showers and thunderstorms will redevelop late today or during tonight over the northern plains, across the northwest Midwest and into the north-central Midwest. This rainfall may become locally heavy, threatening to cause some local flooding of fields. Drier elsewhere in the key US growing areas Tuesday and Tuesday night. Showers and some light rain over the southern Canadian Prairies during Tuesday. Temperatures will average above normal over the central/south plains, Midwest and Delta regions. Temperatures below normal northern plains and Canadian Prairies.
