Late Winter Precipitation and Spring Weather Patterns w/ Matt Makens

Atmospheric Scientist Matt Makens returns to the show following his presentation at CattleCon, bringing an in‑depth look at the spring weather outlook for producers. Matt breaks down the latest trends in moisture patterns, temperature shifts, and spring weather forecasts, emphasizing the critical need for late‑winter precipitation after a dry December and January.

He also explains why much of the western U.S. will rely on end‑of‑season storms to support rangeland and crop conditions, and what producers need to know as we transition into a Neutral ENSO phase with promising indications of El Niño development later this year.

This episode delivers essential, science‑based guidance to help you plan for spring.
