He explains how the LRC (Lezak Recurring Cycle) is shaping up this season, why Colorado’s unusual warmth matters, and what producers should be watching in the weeks ahead. Gary reminds listeners that patience—and preparation—are key as this year’s weather pattern locks in.LinksWeather 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.cattleusadrive.com/CattleUSA 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/TakeawaysThe weather pattern is evolving and setting up for the season.Concerns about drought are significant for agriculture and ranching.The roulette wheel of weather indicates uncertainty in upcoming conditions.Current warm temperatures are unusual for this time of year.The pattern could cycle in the 40 to 65 day range this year.Monitoring is essential as the weather continues to change.The lack of wet storms is a concern for the plains.Patience is key as the weather pattern develops.The first storm of the season is expected soon.The Chiefs' recent game loss reflects the frustrations of fans.
