Showers & t-storms march across the Heartland

Across the Corn Belt, a band of scattered showers and thunderstorms—stretching from eastern Nebraska to Indiana—bisects the region. Cooler air is beginning to overspread the upper Midwest, but warm weather is promoting a rapid crop development pace across the remainder of the Corn Belt. In a few upper Midwestern locations, including Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the wettest June (and month) on record is coming to a close.

On the Plains, separate areas of showers are affecting northern and central portions of the region. The rain is slowing fieldwork in eastern Nebraska. However, conditions remain generally favorable for summer crops, despite pockets of excessive soil moisture.

In the South, tropical storm formation appears to be imminent east of the Florida coast. Elsewhere, warm, humid weather prevails. Widely scattered showers are most numerous in the southern Appalachians.

In the West, cool weather across the northern Intermountain region contrasts with hot conditions in the Southwest and portions of the Pacific Coast States. In California and the Desert Southwest, heat is maintaining heavy irrigation demands.
