Cooler, drier air settles into the upper Midwest
Across the Corn Belt, showers and thunderstorms linger along a front pushing southward into the middle Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. Another warm day hastens summer crop development south of the cold front.
On the Plains, locally heavy showers are boosting long-term moisture reserves in southern hard red winter wheat areas. Showers also favor immature summer crops over Kansas, but thunderstorms are likely causing localized spring wheat delays in parts of the Dakotas.
In the South, tropical showers have intensified over western sections of the Florida Peninsula. Elsewhere in the region, warm, mostly dry weather supports maturation and early harvesting of summer crops.
In the West, showers are generally scattered and light, likely causing little to no harvest delays in northern spring grain areas. Warmth, combined with low relative humidity and breezy conditions, maintains a high risk of wildfires over portions of the Great Basin and northern Rockies.
