Mild weather for the season across the Heartland
Across the Corn Belt, mild weather prevails, although freezing rain is causing some travel difficulties in the upper Great Lakes region. Dry weather covers the remainder of the Midwest.
On the Plains, mild weather from Kansas northward contrasts with cool conditions and lingering clouds farther south. A few rain and snow showers are ongoing across central Texas. The southern Plains’ precipitation, which began January 21, has slowed final cotton harvest efforts but aided rangeland, pastures, and winter wheat.
In the South, widespread rain is curtailing outdoor activities but helping to ease pockets of lingering dryness. Some of the heaviest rain is pushing across the Southeast, including southern Georgia and northern Florida.
In the West, dry weather has returned to the southern Rockies, following beneficial snowfall. Dry weather covers the remainder of the region, except for a few showers in the Pacific Northwest. California is starting to brace for a fourth year of drought due to anemic snowpack and near-record January dryness.
