	DTN Weather Summary
	Dry, Warm Across U.S. Wednesday Bryce Anderson (Bio) – DTN Meteorologist Dry and very warm conditions are in store across all U.S. and Canadian Prairie crop regions Wednesday. This combination will favor continued planting and crop development. However, areas with drier soils will have some stress because of this warm and dry pattern. Highest stress will be in the western Plains where wildfire notices are in effect due to high temperatures, dry soils and strong winds. » More DTN Weather Commentary Posted at 6:09AM Wed May 16, 2012 CDT
