A Winter “look and feel” across parts of the Heartland
On the Plains, dry weather accompanies a gradual warming trend. Exceptions include eastern North Dakota, where frigid, sub-zero temperatures were noted early Thursday, and Montana, where snow showers are occurring.
Across the Corn Belt, chilly, breezy weather prevails, accompanied by a few snow flurries. Portions of the Great Lakes States received fresh snow on Wednesday, with a 3-inch depth reported Thursday morning in Madison, Wisconsin, while recovery efforts from Tuesday’s severe thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes continue in parts of the central and eastern Corn Belt.
In the South, showers and thunderstorms are ending along the southern Atlantic Coast. Except across Florida’s peninsula, sharply cooler air is arriving on gusty winds. Southern producers with fruit crops in full bloom are monitoring the arrival of cold weather, following an extended period of warmth.
In the West, temperatures are rebounding to near- or above-normal levels in California and parts of the Southwest. Cool conditions linger elsewhere, and showers are just starting to overspread the Northwest.
