  Happy Monday y'all, welcome to another episode of the Cattle
• 0:03
  USA Daily Podcast. Today we have your Monday
• 0:06
  weather report for all of you guys with Gary Lezak and the
• 0:09
  Weather 2020 team where we are talking.
• 0:12
  What are we going to be seeing this summer?
• 0:14
  Are we going to be seeing some summer heat waves?
• 0:16
  When are we going to be seeing those heat waves?
• 0:18
  We talk Weather 2020 Global Predictor, what that is looking
• 0:22
  like right now and the exciting new update that they just got
• 0:25
  over at the team. So without further ado, let's go
• 0:28
  ahead and hop into this episode with Gary.
• 0:33
  Welcome to the Cattle USA Daily podcast, your go to source for
• 0:37
  the latest livestock markets, industry insights and the update
• 0:40
  shaping agriculture today. I'm your host, Lauren Moylan, a
• 0:44
  passionate advocate for agriculture here to keep you
• 0:46
  informed and connected. Now let's dive into today's
• 0:50
  episode. Gary, Happy Friday.
• 0:55
  Happy Friday, it's Memorial Day weekend.
• 0:59
  It's Memorial Day weekend. Everyone's going to be hearing
• 1:01
  this on Memorial Day. I know it's so, I mean, maybe
• 1:05
  they will have great energy to match our Friday energy because
• 1:09
  it's still going to be Memorial Day for them.
• 1:10
  So it's not like everyone listening to this is like, I got
• 1:13
  to go back to work. It's Monday.
• 1:15
  No, like they get Monday off. They're they're going to be
• 1:17
  matching our energy. I know and and then Tuesday is
• 1:20
  not bad because it's Tuesday is like Monday then and then
• 1:23
  Wednesday is like Tuesday and then Wednesday, which would
• 1:26
  normally be a Tuesday. Tuesdays are the worst day of
• 1:29
  the week because Monday you don't know that the week has
• 1:32
  begun. By the time you realize it, it's
• 1:34
  Tuesday like, Oh my God, I got a week ahead of me.
• 1:37
  And then Wednesday's hump day and you're fine.
• 1:38
  But next week, Tuesday is like the beginning of the week.
• 1:43
  So Wednesday when it's Tuesday, it's really hump day and it's
• 1:46
  like next week's going to be a great week.
• 1:49
  It's going to be a great week. I'm so excited.
• 1:51
  How's the weather going to be next week, Gary?
• 1:58
  The weather next week is very interesting.
• 2:00
  We have rain and thunderstorms in the forecast.
• 2:02
  There's a block forming in the upper levels of the atmosphere.
• 2:06
  And for those of you new or our refresher, the weather pattern
• 2:10
  is cycling. The LRC is called the Lezak
• 2:14
  recurring cycle. Yeah, my name is Gary Lezak.
• 2:17
  You know, I used to be insecure saying it's called the Lezak
• 2:19
  recurring cycle. I did not name it.
• 2:21
  Just so you all know. OK, I did not name it.
• 2:24
  It was named by the bloggers back in 2003.
• 2:28
  Blogging actually started in 2001, 2002.
• 2:33
  You know, I was at the beginning of the blog.
• 2:34
  We had a very, very popular weather blog and we were making
• 2:38
  long range predictions and accurately months in advance and
• 2:41
  people said, gosh, this theory should not be just called your
• 2:44
  theory. We should call it the the LRC.
• 2:47
  So that's how that's how that name got applied to it.
• 2:51
  What it's called. Someday maybe it will be called
• 2:53
  that. But regardless, it's absolutely
• 2:55
  fascinating. So right now we're in the part
• 2:57
  of the pattern we thought would get wet and it got wet in the
• 3:01
  last week in most areas. There's still areas of North
• 3:04
  Central Kansas centered on around Washington County into
• 3:09
  southern Nebraska north of Manhattan.
• 3:12
  That area seems to get sprinkles while everyone else is getting
• 3:16
  thunderstorms. It's like ridiculous.
• 3:18
  There's always dry pockets even in a wet pattern.
• 3:22
  This has not been a wet pattern by any means, but we've had
• 3:26
  unless you're in Oklahoma and Arkansas, but it is is
• 3:30
  definitely adequate rainfall and the next five to seven days.
• 3:34
  This stretch we're in right now is the part of the pattern we
• 3:38
  thought would be wet. The LRS patent pending model
• 3:43
  predicted it would get wet around the 26th to 28th of May
• 3:47
  and there's a lot of good chances of rain and
• 3:49
  thunderstorms. There's also a block so the
• 3:53
  river of air above us is cycling regularly.
• 3:56
  Imagine a big log gets lodged in the river and the flow goes
• 4:02
  around that log and it's pushing around it and eventually after 5
• 4:06
  minutes you watch that log finally break free and move on.
• 4:09
  That's what's going on in the atmosphere.
• 4:11
  There's one of those logs in the flow that is formed in Canada
• 4:15
  allowing the River Verita to go underneath it.
• 4:18
  And that's actually what's enhancing this chance of rain
• 4:20
  that's coming in right now. It's also going to dry out
• 4:23
  Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa.
• 4:27
  So part of the Corn Belt is going to dry out with this
• 4:29
  pattern, while Kansas gets wetter with this pattern.
• 4:33
  I'd be concerned up in the northern Plains, but they just
• 4:36
  got blasted by rain and snow and cool weather, so they're doing
• 4:40
  fine. The last area that really needs
• 4:42
  the rain is Nebraska and Kansas, and we're getting it in the next
• 4:46
  few days. So we'll see what happens.
• 4:47
  We'll see how it all winds up. But it does look like it is
• 4:51
  going to be a little wet, period.
• 4:54
  And then Lauren Summer is going to be staring us in the face.
• 5:00
  Is it's going to be right there, which I, I'm ready for, but at
• 5:04
  the same time, I'm not like it's a crisp 65 degrees 60° here in
• 5:10
  Kansas today. And I, I think I'm actually
• 5:13
  enjoying it. I, I really AM.
• 5:15
  And I, I have been working outside the past few days,
• 5:18
  sitting in the sunshine, doing all the things.
• 5:21
  So like, don't get me wrong, I love me some really, really hot
• 5:25
  days, some beating down on the sun, burning my skin.
• 5:28
  Get that sunshine all in me. But then these cool days come
• 5:31
  around and I'm grateful for them because before we know it, it's
• 5:33
  going to be 110° outside and it's going to be hot.
• 5:37
  Get that vitamin D, that vitamin D, you probably do need to put
• 5:40
  some sunscreen on to protect your body.
• 5:43
  But let me just tell you, I say probably because getting some
• 5:46
  sunshine is actually beneficial for your health, just so
• 5:49
  everyone knows. And so it's important to get
• 5:52
  some sun. So farmers are notoriously
• 5:56
  great. Again, that farmers tan, you
• 5:58
  know. And today's cattle business
• 6:01
  efficiency isn't just a goal, it is a necessity.
• 6:04
  Here at Cattle USA, we are excited to partner with MJE
• 6:07
  Livestock Equipment. They design working facilities
• 6:10
  that streamline your operation, reduce labor costs, and enhance
• 6:13
  herd health. Their modular systems are built
• 6:16
  to adapt as your ranch grows, ensuring long term value and
• 6:20
  durability. Invest in equipment that works
• 6:22
  as hard as you do. Visit mjelivestockequipment.com
• 6:26
  to learn more today. Yes, my husband has a rock and
• 6:30
  farmers tan already and it is what is it May May 23rd.
• 6:35
  And his farmer's tan is intense. That man, he got his mother's
• 6:39
  Florida skin. He tans beautifully.
• 6:41
  And I am jealous because I go out in the sunshine and give me
• 6:45
  10 minutes and I'm probably going to have a burn the next
• 6:47
  day, which the burn turns into a tan and it doesn't always peel.
• 6:52
  But I, I am not blessed in that way.
• 6:54
  I do have some tan lines going, but not like that, not like
• 6:58
  that. And I'm sure most of our farmers
• 6:59
  out there probably have some pretty intense.
• 7:01
  Farmer's tans going. Yes, yes.
• 7:05
  Amazing. So you as we go into summer,
• 7:07
  Lauren, you may wonder when are we going to have a heat wave?
• 7:12
  Is that going to happen? We got this thing called the
• 7:15
  global predictor. Can we have different products
• 7:19
  that you can see right here on our Kelly USA podcast here and
• 7:23
  and and Lauren can tell you more about that.
• 7:26
  One of the products though, our consumer product, and this is
• 7:30
  for brides and grooms and farmers and event planners and
• 7:34
  vacation goers, just about anything.
• 7:37
  And it's global. That's what we call the global
• 7:39
  predictor. But right now we updated it
• 7:42
  today. As of today, you now get your
• 7:45
  first 15 days of forecast. OK, Yeah, every app has the 1st
• 7:48
  15 days, but still you're going to get an accurate forecast.
• 7:51
  When you wake up down for today, it shows you the forecast for
• 7:54
  highs, lows, rain and snow. But the only app in the world,
• 7:59
  the only way in the world to get an accurate forecast for the
• 8:02
  next 6 months is through the LRC and the global predictor is a
• 8:06
  great way to do it. So it's only $5.99 a month or
• 8:10
  4999 a year and it is fun. And now that it has day one on
• 8:15
  there, I love it because I, I looked at it and it has a 68°
• 8:20
  with a high temperature in Kansas City.
• 8:22
  So it's going to be 68 today. So that'll give you the accurate
• 8:26
  forecast on day one. And then when you look at the
• 8:28
  Chiefs forecast for September 14th, the Kansas City Chiefs are
• 8:32
  playing the Philadelphia Eagles. You got a forecast for that game
• 8:37
  and it says 72°, but it has rain.
• 8:39
  Is there going to be a thunderstorm on the first game
• 8:42
  at home? Eagles are in town.
• 8:43
  It rained last time they were here.
• 8:45
  So we will see. But that's the global predictor
• 8:47
  predicts. But you can have that in your
• 8:49
  fingertips. Yes, you absolutely could.
• 8:52
  Whether you are a rancher out there that just needs it for
• 8:56
  long term prediction for your seasons and planning out what
• 9:01
  you're going to be doing for the summer and into the fall.
• 9:03
  Or if you are a Chiefs fan and you are trying to decide which
• 9:06
  game to buy tickets to, I mean, that would be a really great
• 9:09
  option to, OK, which game are we going to go to that maybe it's
• 9:12
  not going to be thundering, maybe it's not going to be
• 9:15
  snowing. Give us a nice little crisp
• 9:17
  6050° day and we can go from there.
• 9:20
  Exactly. So that's.
• 9:22
  So. Scary we're actually looking at
• 9:25
  the gold predictor watch this so I mean you could I'll describe
• 9:29
  it here September, but let's go to July for Des Moines, IA.
• 9:34
  I cooked on and notice how it has 90s on the 17th, 18th, 19th
• 9:40
  of July and then and the 20th and then it has he's after that.
• 9:45
  So this shows you when there's likely going to be a heat wave
• 9:50
  somewhere from the 12th of July to the 20th of July.
• 9:55
  That's where the hottest stretches and that cools off
• 9:58
  after that. It shows you the cycling pattern
• 10:01
  because without cycling pattern, if there was no cycling pattern
• 10:05
  at all and we just went on like what happens at the equator.
• 10:09
  Basically you, you'll see, you'll, it will not cool off at
• 10:14
  the end of July, but since it cools off to 81° on 31st of
• 10:19
  July, it shows you the 20th to the 12th.
• 10:23
  That's how you can use our products to figure out by
• 10:26
  looking at the LRC is when, when is the most likely time to have
• 10:31
  the heat wave. So we just did an analysis
• 10:34
  without me even analyzing, and I will go in and look at the upper
• 10:38
  levels of the atmosphere, ridiculously go over it and have
• 10:42
  a more detailed forecast of heat waves this summer here.
• 10:45
  Maybe next Friday I'll do it since it'll be going into June.
• 10:49
  I think we'll finally do that. I'll get that for you and I've
• 10:52
  been promising it for weeks, but I guarantee you, just based on
• 10:55
  what we just saw, that 20th of July period we have to watch to
• 11:01
  see. It only shows low knees in Des
• 11:03
  Moines, but that could be 5 days to resolve.
• 11:07
  But if the corn is really growing, you know as high as
• 11:10
  your eye by the 4th of July. And so when that corn is up to
• 11:14
  your eye by the 4th of July and then it's the 20, the, the
• 11:18
  humidity is so high, it's hard to get above 95 in in Iowa, but
• 11:23
  that there could be a little heat stress about that.
• 11:26
  Good, good to know. And definitely if you guys saw
• 11:30
  that dashboard, Gary showed it here on YouTube.
• 11:33
  So if you're not on YouTube, go head on over to YouTube and you
• 11:36
  can see how he shared his screen and showed exactly what it's
• 11:39
  going to look like. But get the app, get it
• 11:41
  downloaded, get your first 15 days free and then $5 a month.
• 11:46
  That's one coffee guys like go, go get your global predictor, go
• 11:50
  be able to see what's going to be happening.
• 11:52
  For vacation planning, I will say it is very handy to have it
• 11:56
  for vacation planning and whatever else life is going to
• 11:58
  be thrown your way as summer comes around.
• 12:01
  But Gary, any other things, highs, lows, anything else that
• 12:05
  we need to talk about? Getting married in Florida
• 12:08
  Panhandle on Saturday. And so they said about three
• 12:12
  months ago, Gary, the gold predictor says it's going to be
• 12:14
  dry. The RFC has a dry for my wedding
• 12:17
  day. It's in Florida.
• 12:18
  Are you sure? I said that's what it shows.
• 12:20
  And guess what? He's going to give us a great
• 12:22
  testimonial because if it's dry, they're getting married on the
• 12:24
  beach. This is going to be a good one.
• 12:28
  Absolutely. And the Florida Panhandle in
• 12:31
  late May is a little questionable sometimes on the
• 12:35
  weather that you're going to be getting.
• 12:37
  So that's going to be a great testimony when that pulls
• 12:40
  through and they have they have a dry.
• 12:41
  Wedding. They better give me a good
• 12:43
  testimony. So like, hey, I told you it was
• 12:47
  going to be dry me over that testimonial real quick so I can
• 12:50
  throw it on the website, right percent.
• 12:52
  We're in a holiday mood today. It is Friday, our holiday
• 12:56
  weekend is here and I got four days off.
• 12:59
  I'm going to relax and enjoy it. 1000% as you should and as
• 13:04
  should everyone else. I hope everyone is enjoying
• 13:07
  their Memorial Day weekend, that they are able to take some time
• 13:10
  to recharge, whether you're on the lake this weekend or just
• 13:13
  sitting at home just soaking it all in.
• 13:17
  I know that's what my husband and I are going to be done this
• 13:19
  weekend. I'm sure we'll do something here
• 13:20
  in Manhattan with some of our friends that are still here.
• 13:22
  But Gary and I were talking before the podcast and we are
• 13:25
  the dedicated dog sitters for the weekend.
• 13:27
  We have a full House of four months this weekend.
• 13:32
  So it is we are full to the brim over here and we're we're loving
• 13:36
  it. It's amazing.
• 13:38
  Everyone is in their kennels right now and luckily they are
• 13:40
  all behaving and not barking or playing with one another outside
• 13:43
  the door. So it's going good so far.
• 13:46
  But check back in with us next week and hopefully we all
• 13:49
  survived the four dogs this weekend.
• 13:51
  But my husband and I are just hanging out at the house.
• 13:53
  And I know Gary, you said you guys were kind of doing the same
• 13:56
  thing, but you're just hanging out, just soaking it all in,
• 13:59
  soaking the four day weekend in and.
• 14:02
  Four dog, you're having a four dog weekend, We're having a two
• 14:04
  dog weekend so. Yes, absolutely.
• 14:07
