Weather
An active pattern from the Corn Belt, westward
On the Plains, snow is falling early Tuesday in the eastern Dakotas, while rain is occurring in southeastern Nebraska and parts of Kansas. Cold, breezy conditions are spreading across the northern Plains as snow departs, but unusually warm weather prevails across the southern half of the Plains. In addition, very dry conditions persist in a band stretching from eastern Colorado into Oklahoma.
Across the Corn Belt, a low-pressure system centered over the lower Missouri Valley is producing a variety of precipitation types, including rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow. The most significant snow is falling across the upper Midwest, but travel disruptions are occurring throughout the northern Corn Belt.
In the South, warm weather has returned from the Mississippi Delta westward, while cold conditions are easing across the southern Atlantic States. Producers in southern Louisiana and Deep South Texas continue to monitor crops such as sugarcane in the wake of the January 7-8 cold snap.
In the West, intense storminess is returning to northern and central California, resulting in high winds and Blizzard Warnings across portions of the Sierra Nevada and bringing a renewed threat of flooding at lower elevations. Elsewhere, showers dot the Northwest, while mild, dry weather prevails in the Southwest.
