Recovery underway on parts of the central, southern Plains
On the Plains, ice storm recovery efforts continue in parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and environs. Despite the inconvenience of the freezing rain, moisture was highly beneficial for rangeland, pastures, and winter wheat. Currently, generally mild, dry weather prevails in the wake of weekend storminess.
Across the Corn Belt, rain lingers across the Ohio Valley and the lower Great Lakes region. Elsewhere, colder air is overspreading the upper Midwest, where some locations reported low temperatures near 0° Tuesday morning, while light wintry precipitation (e.g. freezing drizzle, snow showers) is falling in the upper Great Lakes region.
In the South, scattered rain showers stretch from the central Appalachians to eastern Texas. Unusually warm weather covers much of the Deep South, where Tuesday’s high temperatures should again approach, reach, or exceed 80°.
In the West, the first in a new series of Pacific storms is poised to strike the West Coast. Early Tuesday, rain and snow showers were overspreading the Pacific Northwest. Cold, dry weather covers the remainder of the West.
