Weather
Beneficial moisture on parts of the Plains
On the Plains, a band of beneficial precipitation—mostly rain—stretches across the central portion of the region. Some wet snow is falling in eastern Colorado. Elsewhere, mild, dry weather prevails on the northern High Plains, while showers and thunderstorms are crossing Texas.
Across the Corn Belt, rain in the vicinity of a cold front extends from Nebraska to Michigan. Some freezing rain is occurring in the upper Great Lakes region. South of the cold front, warm, dry, breezy weather prevails across much of the central and eastern Corn Belt.
In the South, warm, dry weather favors planting activities and other early-season fieldwork. However, a cold front crossing Oklahoma and Texas is approaching the region.
In the West, stormy weather is returning to northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Snow is falling at high elevations of the Cascades and the Sierra Nevada, while river flooding is a threat (or is already occurring) in portions of the northern Great Basin and the northern Intermountain West.
