Mild, dry weather on much of the Plains

On the Plains, warm, dry weather is maintaining stress on recently emerged winter wheat. Late-season warmth is especially notable on the High Plains, where Wednesday’s temperatures will top 70° as far north as Montana.

Across the Corn Belt, mild air is overspreading westernmost areas, including the middle Missouri Valley. In contrast, cloudy, showery weather is slowing late-season fieldwork in the eastern Corn Belt, especially in Indiana, where 11% of both corn and soybeans had not yet been harvested by November 4.

In the South, warm weather is confined to the western Gulf Coast region. Elsewhere, cool weather, cloudiness, and a few showers are limiting harvest activities and other autumn fieldwork.

In the West, slightly cooler air is spreading across the Northwest, accompanied by a few showers. Elsewhere, warm, dry weather continues to promote autumn fieldwork.
