A slow return to fieldwork in parts of the Midwest
Across the Corn Belt, dry weather has returned, except for some lingering showers in the Ohio Valley. However, cool, cloudy weather across the eastern Corn Belt, following recent rainfall, is slowing a return to fieldwork.
On the Plains, dry weather and warmer conditions are promoting rapid winter wheat development and emergence and growth of newly planted crops, such as spring wheat. Warmth is especially prominent across the northern High Plains, where Friday’s high temperatures will top 80° as far north as Montana.
In the South, dry weather has returned west of the Mississippi Delta, although pockets of lowland flooding persist in the western Gulf Coast region. Meanwhile, scattered Southeastern showers are providing beneficial moisture for recently planted summer crops.
In the West, precipitation is spreading inland across northern California and the Pacific Northwest, accompanied by cooler conditions. Across the remainder of the region, warm, dry breezy weather prevails.
