Another cold wave grips the Heartland

Across the Corn Belt, very cold weather across the upper Midwest—with Tuesday morning lows generally ranging from -20 to 0°—is maintaining stress on livestock. Chilly conditions also cover the remainder of the region. Snow covers all but the southern tier of the Corn Belt, with current snow depths standing at 6 inches in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Grand Rapids, Michigan, and 4 inches in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota.

On the Plains, frigid conditions persist across eastern sections of Nebraska and the Dakotas, where Tuesday morning’s low temperatures ranged from -20 to 0°. Cool, dry weather covers the remainder of the Plains, although temperatures are starting to rebound across Montana.

In the South, rain showers linger in a few areas, including the western Gulf Coast region and the southern Mid- Atlantic States. Warmth lingers across Florida’s peninsula, but cool conditions prevail elsewhere.

In the West, rain and snow showers are confined to the Four Corners States. Elsewhere, mild, dry weather prevails, although fog and air-stagnation issues are plaguing some valley locations.
