Weather
Winter-like pattern hold across the Corn Belt
Across the Corn Belt, snow squalls are subsiding downwind of the Great Lakes, but cold conditions persist throughout the region. Sub-zero temperatures were noted Friday morning in the upper Mississippi Valley, maintaining stress on livestock. Snow on the ground continues to hamper late-season harvest activities across the northern Corn Belt and parts of the Ohio Valley.
On the Plains, temperatures are rebounding to near- or above-normal levels. Friday’s high temperatures could reach 50° as far north as Montana. Meanwhile, some light rain is falling across the southeastern Plains, including parts of eastern Oklahoma.
In the South, light rain is spreading from the western Gulf Coast region into the northern Mississippi Delta. Farther east, cool, dry weather favors autumn fieldwork, including cotton and soybean harvesting.
In the West, dry weather prevails, except for a few showers in southern California and the Pacific Northwest. Mild, breezy conditions are developing in some areas in advance of a Pacific storm, although air stagnation remains a concern for some valley locations across the interior Northwest.
