A more typical November pattern

Across the Corn Belt, showers and thunderstorms in the vicinity of a cold front are pushing eastward. Dry, breezy conditions trail the front, while near-normal temperatures have replaced record-setting Midwestern warmth. Final corn and soybean harvest activities have been temporarily delayed by the recently ended rainfall.

On the Plains, cool, mostly dry weather prevails in the wake of a cold front’s passage. Freeze warnings were in effect early Friday across portions of the southern High Plains. However, the Plains’ summer crops are mature, and many have already been harvested.

In the South, showers stretch from Kentucky to coastal Texas. In the Southeast, very warm weather favors fieldwork in areas where soils are not too wet. On November 1 in North Carolina, 32% of the winter wheat had been planted, while harvest had progressed to 97% complete for corn; 65% for peanuts; 48% for cotton; and 36% for soybeans.

In the West, Freeze Warnings were in effect early Friday in parts of the Four Corners States. Meanwhile, snow is blanketing portions of the northern Intermountain West. In contrast, mild weather is returning to northern California and the Pacific Northwest in advance of an approaching cold front.
