Spring planting idled across much of the central, southern Corn Belt
Across the Corn Belt, rain has mostly ended, although fields remain too wet in many areas for planting activities. In recent days, rain has been heaviest (locally 2 to 4 inches or more) across the southern and western Corn Belt.
On the Plains, mild, breezy conditions are developing across Montana and North Dakota. In contrast, Freeze Warnings and Frost Advisories were in effect early Monday across portions of the central and southern High Plains, where producers will be monitoring winter wheat for signs of freeze injury.
In the South, scattered showers and thunderstorms are heaviest from central and eastern Texas to the Mississippi Delta. The rain is slowing fieldwork but boosting soil moisture for pastures and summer crops— although excessive wetness has become a concern in parts of the mid-South and the central Gulf Coast region.
In the West, warmth in the Pacific Northwest and the northern Rockies contrasts with cool conditions in the central and southern Rockies and the Southwest. Clouds and isolated showers accompany the below-normal temperatures in the Southwest, while a late-season snowfall has ended in the central Rockies.
