1 SOUTHEAST ARIZONA CROP WATER USE REPORT August 27, 2017 Paul W. Brown University of Arizona Weather Update Drier air remained in place much of last week, resulting in slightly below normal temperatures (Fig. 1) and near normal levels of evaporative demand (Fig. 2). Precipitation was generally light in agricultural areas (Fig. 3) for the second consecutive week. Precipitation was reported at three of the local AZMET stations: 0.08 at Bonita, 0.08 at San Simon and 0.09: at Willcox Bench. Year-to-date precipitation totals now stand at 5.46", 6.37", 4.67" and 6.25 for Bonita, Bowie, San Simon and Willcox Bench, respectively. Precipitation since 1 January at Bonita now stands at 74% of normal (Fig. 4). High pressure just north of Arizona will suppress monsoon moisture early this week, resulting in mostly dry conditions with above normal temperatures. Moisture will return mid-week producing a brief uptick in the probabilities for precipitation before drier air returns during the latter half of the work week. Longer term forecasts suggest significant moisture may enter the region this coming weekend due to tropical storm activity in the Gulf of California; however, current forecasts continue to show low probabilities for weekend precipitation (20%). The most recent long range forecasts call for near normal temperatures and precipitation in September. The 90-day forecast through the end of November calls for near normal precipitation, but exhibits a strong bias for above normal temperatures, suggesting a warm fall. Figure 1. Average weekly air temperature for the period 15 July through 26 August The black line provides the long term average value for each period. 1

Crop Water Use Update The tables below provide estimates of crop water use for the past and upcoming week for selected crops in southeast Arizona. Water use was estimated by applying crop-specific coefficients (Kc) to values of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) generated by local AZMET weather stations. Estimates for the upcoming week were computed using historical averages of ETo for this time of year. See table at the end of this report to translate inches of water into pivot run times.
