Weather
Showery in the eastern Corn Belt
Across the Corn Belt, mild, dry weather has returned to the upper Midwest. However, showery, breezy weather covers the remainder of the Corn Belt, further slowing a harvest season already delayed by late corn and soybean maturation.
On the Plains, cool conditions linger in the wake of a departing storm. A Frost Advisory is in effect early Tuesday across portions of the central High Plains. Recent rainfall associated with the storm slowed or halted fieldwork across the central and southern Plains but benefited emerging winter wheat. Meanwhile, very warm weather is overspreading the northern High Plains, where Tuesday’s high temperatures will exceed 80° in some locations.
In the South, cooler, drier air is overspreading the western and central Gulf Coast States. Meanwhile, heavy showers and locally severe thunderstorms are sweeping across the Southeast.
In the West, showers are overspreading western sections of Washington and Oregon. Elsewhere, an extended spell of warm, dry weather continues to promote fieldwork, including summer crop harvesting and winter wheat planting. However, some Northwestern winter grains will soon need rain to promote crop establishment.
