Developing ice storm, bitter cold on the Plains
On the Plains, an ice storm is just getting underway in central and eastern Oklahoma. Farther north, cold but dry weather prevails across the northern and central Plains. Friday morning’s low temperatures plunged to near -30° in northern North Dakota.
Across the Corn Belt, cold, mostly dry weather prevails in the wake of a cold front’s passage. Sub-zero temperatures blanketed the upper Midwest early Friday, maintaining livestock stress. Meanwhile, some light freezing rain is overspreading southern sections of Missouri and Illinois, causing some travel disruptions.
In the South, warm, dry weather prevails in most areas. However, cool air and rain showers are overspreading the interior Southeast, primarily across Kentucky.
In the West, rain and snow showers linger across southern California and parts of the Southwest. Cool, dry weather prevails in northern and central California and western Nevada, allowing rivers to recede and roads to reopen in the wake of the recent barrage of storms. Very cold but dry weather covers the Northwest.
