Snow blankets parts of the upper Midwest
Across the Corn Belt, snow lingers across the upper Midwest, where current depths include 4 inches in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, and 3 inches in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Some of the heaviest snow, locally 8 inches or more, has fallen across eastern South Dakota and environs. Meanwhile, mild, rainy weather prevails in the eastern Corn Belt.
On the Plains, snow showers linger across the Dakotas and Nebraska. Meanwhile, locally dense fog developed overnight on the southern High Plains, where wet fields continue to hamper final cotton harvest efforts. One quarter (25%) of the Texas cotton crop remained in the field on November 29.
In the South, rain stretches from the southern Mid-Atlantic region to the central Gulf Coast. However, warm, dry weather prevails across the lower Southeast. Despite favorable weather in recent days, South Carolina had the nation’s slowest harvest pace by November 29 for cotton (64% harvested) and peanuts (74% harvested).
In the West, cold weather persists across the Intermountain region, where numerous readings below 0° were reported again Tuesday morning. Frost Advisories were in effect early Tuesday in parts of southern California. Dry weather prevails throughout the region, except for a few rain and snow showers in the Pacific Northwest.
