Storms on the move across parts of the central Corn Belt
Across the Corn Belt, a thunderstorm complex with a long history of producing heavy rain, large hail, and local wind damage is moving into the upper Mississippi Valley. Across the remainder of the Midwest, warm, humid weather prevails in advance of a cold front. Pockets of lowland flooding persist in the wake of Tropical Depression Bill’s passage, especially across the southern Corn Belt.
On the Plains, cooler, drier air is arriving across Montana, Nebraska, and the Dakotas, following a cold front’s passage. In areas of the northern Plains affected by damaging winds during the last several days, recovery efforts continue. Farther south, favorably dry weather prevails across the southern Plains, following the latest round of heavy rain that sent several rivers in Oklahoma and Texas back above flood stage.
In the South, hot, mostly dry weather continues to gradually increase stress on pastures and rain-fed summer crops. Monday’s high temperatures will approach 100°F from southern Alabama to the eastern Carolinas.
In the West, hot, dry weather is promoting crop development but maintaining heavy irrigation demands. High temperatures of 110 to 115° will be common later Monday in the Desert Southwest.
