A change in weather arrives on the northern Plains
On the Plains, sharply cooler weather is arriving behind a strong cold front. Showers are improving soil moisture in northern and central portions of the region, while persistent short-term dryness is reducing topsoil moisture on the southern Plains.
Across the Corn Belt, dry, warm weather favors filling corn and soybeans in central and eastern portions of the region. Farther west, showers and thunderstorms are developing ahead of a strong cold front, with locally heavy downpours noted Friday morning from Nebraska into Wisconsin.
In the South, flood recovery efforts continue in southern Louisiana. Meanwhile, tropical moisture continues to produce locally heavy showers and thunderstorms from south-central Texas into the interior Southeast. Hot, humid, but mostly dry weather prevails in the lower Southeast.
In the West, outside of monsoon showers in the Four Corners Region, sunny but increasingly hot weather is promoting Northwestern winter grain harvesting and other seasonal fieldwork.
