Mostly favorable weather conditions across the Corn Belt
Across the Corn Belt, despite a recent drying trend, conditions remain mostly favorable for corn and soybeans. Specifically, many crops continue to thrive due to below-normal temperatures and adequate soil moisture.
In the South, heat lingers across the lower Southeast in advance of a cold front’s passage. Monday’s maximum temperatures will approach 100° from southern Alabama to the coastal plain of South Carolina. Meanwhile, cooler air is arriving across the interior Southeast, preceded by isolated showers and thunderstorms.
On the Plains, the interaction between a cold front and the monsoon circulation is resulting in heavy showers in an area centered on western Oklahoma and northern Texas. Heat lingers elsewhere in Texas. However, a return to cool weather on northern and central Plains is easing crop stress in the wake of the recent hot spell.
In the West, the National Weather Service has issued Flash Flood Watches for Monday across portions of the Great Basin, Desert Southwest, and Four Corners region due to ongoing heavy shower activity. In contrast, hot, dry weather has returned to the Northwest, where recovery efforts continue from a rash of wildfires.
