A wide-range of temperatures across the Corn Belt
On the Plains, warm, windy conditions prevail in conjunction with a developing storm system centered over western Kansas. Isolated rain showers dot the northern Plains, while cooler air is beginning to overspread the High Plains.
Across the Corn Belt, lingering cool conditions over the lower Great Lakes region contrast with record-setting warmth across southern and western portions of the region. Scattered frost was noted Monday morning from Michigan into New York, while Monday’s highs could again approach 90° in the southwestern Corn Belt.
In the South, precipitation is mostly confined to North Carolina and the western Gulf Coast region. Elsewhere, warm, dry weather continues to promote a torrid pace of crop development, except in areas—such as the lower Southeast—where soil moisture shortages are hampering growth.
In the West, snow is falling in parts of Wyoming and neighboring areas. Elsewhere, generally cool, dry weather prevails in advance of an approaching Pacific storm.
