Show by CattleUSA | Lauren Moylan
Gary Lezak returns to the Cattle USA Daily Podcast to separate weather facts from the hype surrounding the upcoming winter. He addresses dramatic predictions about the polar vortex and a brutally cold winter, explaining what the developing weather pattern and El Niño may actually tell us about the months ahead. Gary breaks down storm tracks, the jet stream, and early indicators that could influence drought conditions heading into spring and summer. From potential winter storms in the Plains to changing moisture patterns across the West and Northern states, he explains what cattle producers should watch as the winter forecast continues to develop.Links:Weather 20/20 Dashboard Discount - https://www.weather2020.com/partner/cattle-usaSubstack - https://weather2020.substack.com/The Global Predictor App - https://www.weather2020.com/global-predictor-mobile-appYoutube -https://www.youtube.com/@Weather2020Follow Gary on X - https://x.com/glezak CattleUSA Insurance - https://info.cattleusainsurance.com/l/1102253/2025-06-04/288f5mCattleUSA Website - https://www.cattleusa.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cattleusamediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cattleusa.media/Subscribe to our newsletter - https://www.cattleusa.shop/products/cattleusa-drive-premium-daily-newsletter?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&brid=YWdncwFNXt0EmdzFy5cJJBp84J9gCattleUSA Media - https://www.cattleusamedia.com/Lauren’s Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_laurenmoylan/Lauren’s Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@ShowboatmediacoThe Next Generation Podcast Website - https://www.thenextgenag.com/Key Takeaways:Why dramatic winter weather predictions on social media can be misleadingEl Niño's influence on the developing winter weather patternThe jet stream and storm tracks could shape winter conditions Early signs of wetter or drier weather across cattle countryCurrent drought conditions across the Plains and Western statesWinter moisture could affect pasture, crops, and spring conditionsThe next several weeks are critical for understanding the winter outlookWhat producers should monitor as the weather pattern developsChapters:01:10 Debunking Winter Weather Hype02:57 Why the Fall Weather Pattern Matters04:00 El Niño, the Jet Stream and Upcoming Storms05:00 What the Developing Pattern Means for Agriculture07:19 Slowing Down and Appreciating the Season08:19 What Gary Is Watching in the Weather Pattern11:47 Anchor Troughs, Ridges and Winter Storm Tracks13:00 El Niño and the Early Drought Outlook14:19 Current Drought Conditions Across the Plains and West15:49 What Producers Should Watch in the Coming WeeksGary Lezak, Cattle USA Daily Podcast, winter weather forecast, debunking winter weather hype, winter weather predictions, winter outlook, El Niño, El Niño winter forecast, polar vortex, polar vortex predictions, jet stream, weather patterns, LRC weather cycle, Weather 2020, Lezak Weather, drought outlook, drought conditions, drought monitoring, winter storms, winter precipitation, winter moisture, Plains weather, Great Plains drought, Northern Plains weather, Midwest weather, Western states weather, California winter storms, cattle country weather, agricultural weather forecast, weather for cattle producers, ranch weather, pasture conditions, hay production, crop weather, agricultural drought, spring drought outlook, seasonal weather forecast, storm tracks, anchor trough, anchor ridge
