Dry weather across the Corn Belt
Across the Corn Belt, corn and early-season soybean planting activities are accelerating under a dry weather regime, despite lingering cool conditions in the vicinity of the Great Lakes.
On the Plains, dry weather accompanies a warming trend. The most anomalous warmth is overspreading Montana, where Wednesday’s high temperatures will locally exceed 80°. Soil moisture shortages remain a concern with respect to winter wheat and spring-sown crops in many areas from Kansas northward.
In the South, rain is falling from northern Alabama to South Carolina and across southern Florida. Throughout the region, cool conditions are limiting a return to fieldwork, although dry weather prevails from the Mississippi Delta westward.
In the West, dry weather prevails, except for a couple of showers from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies. Meanwhile, warmth stretches from California to the Intermountain West. Wednesday’s high temperatures will exceed the 90-degree mark as far north as the San Joaquin Valley of California.
