The Daily Service
The Cliff Harris/Randy Mann Weather and Trades continues to provide the same daily weather service that many clients been accustomed to for nearly 20 years. Cliff Harris has been forecasting weather for over 40 years.
We've also added the exciting, highly acclaimed, "Cliff's Top 10 Picks" of potentially profitable weather commodity trades updated by Cliff as needed. This section highlights the major commodity markets that have been and will be affected by Ma Nature's wild ways in recent years.
Each business day, Monday through Friday, you will also receive our short, medium and long-term weather forecasts (up to 180 days and beyond) and specialized articles on our pattern of Wide Weather "EXTREMES", long-term climatological cycles to 2038, El Nino, La Nina, global warming and cooling, volcanic activity, sunspot cycles, potential coffee and orange juice freezes, plus corn, wheat, cotton and soybean drought forecasts.
One of our primary function is to help traders, farmers, and business interests plan ahead. We won't just tell our subscribers when we think a particular weather event will occur in a specific location, but we want to instruct our subscribers as to why a specific "type" of climatological condition should develop and why these particular changes will affect farmers, the commodity markets, and various business interests.

CLIFF HARRIS/RANDY MANN WEATHER AND TRADES (FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 2009)
NEW 180-DAY LONG RANGE WEATHER OUTLOOK:
SEPTEMBER 18 (NEW MOON) - OCTOBER 18 (NEW MOON): The 2009 hurricane season may become more active during this cycle in the both the South Atlantic and Gulf Coast regions. The East Coast and the southeastern corner of the U.S. will be wetter than usual into the early fall period. As much as 7-10 inches of rain has fallen in South Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas since September 10.
The Upper Midwest, much of the Great Plains, southern Canada and the western Great Lakes will see cooler than normal temperatures, occasional showers and the chance of early frosts (see below). The southwestern U.S., including much of California, will be even hotter and drier than normal with increasing fire danger from "Santa Ana Winds"-fanned forest and brush fires, which have already turned areas near Los Angeles into "lunar landscapes."
The Pacific Northwest will be mostly dry with unusually warm temperatures.
OCTOBER 18 (NEW MOON): - DECEMBER 2 (FULL MOON): The last half of the 2009 harvest season should be a bit warmer and drier than normal south of I-80 in the Midwest. The Upper Midwest and the northern Great Plains will be chilly with occasional hard freezes. Out West, California will be dry until late November with high fire danger levels. Then, I see heavy rains and mudslides.
DECEMBER 2 (FULL MOON) - JANUARY 15 (NEW MOON): This early winter six- week cycle should be influenced by our new warmer El Nino phenomenon in the tepid waters of the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, much of the country will be mild and wet, even in the drought-parched Southwest, including much of California. Much of the rest of the nation will be mild, dry and windy.
JANUARY 15 (NEW MOON) - FEBRUARY 28 (FULL MOON): This mid to late winter six-week cycle should produce copious amounts of rain and snow, thanks to an expected El Nino in the Pacific Ocean regions, from southern Oregon and California eastward to the mid-Atlantic coastline. Most other areas of the North American Continent, especially the northern regions of the U.S. and southern Canada, will be dry and windy with widely-fluctuating temperatures.
FEBRUARY 28 (FULL MOON) - APRIL 14 (NEW MOON): This late winter/ early spring six-week cycle should produce cooler than normal temperatures and above normal amounts of precipitation across much of U.S. and Canada heading into the "critical" early spring planting season.
An extended series of juicy, El Nino-enhanced Pacific storm systems will provide the added moisture. Late in the period, cold air from Canada will clash headlong into a warm and moist flow from the Gulf of Mexico producing deadly tornadoes, large-sized hail, torrential rains and gusty straight-line winds across the nation's midsection. Lowland flooding is also likely.
U.S. AND SOUTHERN CANADA FREEZE UPDATE
Another batch of cold air will likely send temperatures down to near the freezing mark this weekend from Upper Michigan eastward into northern New England and southeastern Canada. Light frosts are likely. The best scenario for a hard freeze is clear skies and dry ground, which would enhance the "radiational cooling" process.
We've received many reports that crops in the northern regions may be delayed into early October due to above normal rainfall and the third coolest summer on record. The best chance for a freeze, especially north of I-80, would around September 23-28, after the Autumnal Equinox on September 22.
SOUTH AMERICAN 6-10 DAY WEATHER OUTLOOKS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 28TH
Rainfall will continue to be below normal in most major crop regions. Only the northwestern corner of Argentina will see above normal amounts of precipitation. The drought-parched areas will stay dry. Temperatures will begin an extended warming process into late September. By September 21-23, a narrow strip from Bolivia eastward into Paraguay and southern Brazil will become wetter than normal and a bit cooler than usual for the start of spring.

Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corn (Chi.) | Dec 2009 | Buy | $3.15-$3.19 | $3.01-$3.05 | $700 | Corn was down on Thursday. Some bought near the day's lows. Minor changes. |
| Coffee (N.Y.) | Dec 2009 | Buy | $130.60-$131.10 | $128.10-$129.60 | $560 | Coffee was up on Thursday. Wait for our lows to buy. No changes. |
| Soybeans (Chi.) | Jul 2010 | Buy | $9.31-$9.35 | $9.17-$9.21 | $700 | Soybeans were down on Thursday. Some were filled near the day's lows. Buy "call" options near our lows first, then futures. Minor changes. |
| Wheat (Minn.) | Dec 2009 | Buy | $4.75-$4.79 | $4.61-$4.65 | $700 | Spring wheat was "mixed" on Thu. Severe droughts have hurt wheat and other crops in Argentina, India, Europe, Asia and elsewhere, including now in Australia. Rain losses are mounting in the soggy northern crop regions. By Sept. 24-28, they could extend southward to near I-80 in the U.S. No changes. Buy "calls" first, then futures. |
| Wheat (Chi.) | Mar 2010 | Buy | $4.71-$4.75 | $4.57-$4.61 | $700 | Chicago wheat was down on Thu. Some bought near the lows of the day. I'd still buy cheap "calls" first, then futures near our lows. Minor changes. |
| Oats (Chi.) | Dec 2009 | Buy | $2.03-$2.07 | $1.89-$1.93 | $700 | Oats were down a bit on Thu. Wait for lows to buy. I'm very "bullish" oats longer-term. No changes. |
| Soybean Meal(Chi) | Mar 2010 | Buy | $283-$287 | $277-$281 | $600 | Soybean meal was down a bit on Thursday. Many were filled near the lows of the day. Buy on each sharp dip. No changes. |
| Feeder Cattle(Chi) | Jan 2010 | Buy | 97.10-97.60 | 95.80-96.30 | $650 | Feeders were down on Thursday. Wait for a dip to buy. Some bought near the day's lows. Minor changes. |
| Sugar (N.Y.) | Mar 2010 | Buy | 21.30-21.80 | 20.80-21.30 | $750 | Sugar was down on Thursday. Wait for a sharp dip to buy. No changes. |
| Cotton (N.Y.) | Dec 2009 | Buy | 62.10-62.60 | 60.60-61.10 | $750 | Cotton was up a bit on Thursday. Wait for my lows to hold before buying. We took profits earlier in the week. No changes. |
SPECIAL NOTE: I still see MUCH COLDER WEATHER late next week in the nation's midsection. FROST will be likely north of I-80, especially from I-90 northward into Canada after the Sept. 22-23 Autumnal Equinox, probably between Sept. 24-28. Buy "call" options, however, before risky futures.
**We bear, of course, no financial responsibility on these trades**
