Colder air arrives on the northern Plains

Across the Corn Belt, rain is soaking the upper Mississippi Valley and the upper Great Lakes region. Sharply colder air is arriving in the far upper Midwest, where temperatures have fallen below 50°. Warmth lingers, however, from the Ohio Valley into the lower Great Lakes region.

 

On the Plains, lingering warmth is confined to portions of Texas and Oklahoma. Elsewhere, markedly cooler weather is arriving in the wake of a cold front’s passage, although scattered showers linger across portions of the northern Plains. Rain has mixed with or changed to snow in parts of Montana, where the spring wheat harvest has been once again curtailed by adverse weather conditions.

 

In the South, warm, mostly dry weather favors fieldwork and crop maturation in advance of a strong cold front.

 

In the West, an early-season snowfall is blanketing the eastern slopes of the northern Rockies. Elsewhere, cool, dry weather prevails, except for lingering, late-season heat in western Oregon and much of California.
