Warm, dry weather continues across the Midwest
Across the Corn Belt, cool, rainy weather prevails across northernmost areas, including the far upper Midwest and portions of the Great Lakes region. Warmth covers the remainder of the Midwest. In the Ohio Valley, warm, dry conditions are promoting an acceleration of fieldwork.
On the Plains, warmth lingers from Kansas southward. In contrast, unusually cool weather prevails on the northern Plains, accompanied by rain and snow showers that are halting fieldwork but boosting soil moisture for winter wheat and spring-sown crops. Some of the most significant snow is falling in northern Montana.
In the South, warm, mostly dry weather favors a rapid pace of spring fieldwork, including planting activities, and crop development.
In the West, very cool, unsettled weather prevails. Significant, late-season snow is falling at higher elevations of the northern Great Basin and environs, while rain showers are occurring at lower elevations. Farther south, an elevated to critical risk of wildfires exists in parts of the Southwest due to dry, breezy conditions.
