More, warm, dry weather across the Midwest
Across the Corn Belt, rain showers are limited to western sections of the region, including the middle Missouri Valley. Elsewhere, warm, dry weather favors an acceleration of fieldwork, such as corn planting.
On the Plains, rain showers continue to gradually shift eastward and northward, and currently stretch from the Dakotas to eastern sections of Oklahoma and Texas. Meanwhile, snow has ended across the central High Plains. Locally heavy weekend rainfall reduced dryness-related concerns in many areas, although precipitation largely bypassed western Texas.
In the South, torrential rains are causing severe flash flooding in parts of south-central and southeastern Texas, including the Houston area. Overnight rainfall totaled 6 to 16 inches in some locations, with heavy showers continuing. In contrast, warm, dry weather in the Southeast is promoting fieldwork and crop development.
In the West, dry weather and record-setting high temperatures are building eastward from the Pacific Coast States. In contrast, very cool weather prevails from the Four Corners States into Wyoming. Parts of the central Rockies received at least 2 to 3 feet of snow in the last few days.
