Weather
A wide-range of temperatures on the Plains
On the Plains, a burst of wind and warmth across the southern half of the region could briefly result in temperatures near 80º later Friday. In dramatic contrast, frigid, sub-zero temperatures persist in Montana and North Dakota. In between, a band of heavy snow is spreading across western South Dakota and environs.
Across the Corn Belt, generally light snow is falling in portions of the Great Lakes States. Elsewhere, cold, dry weather prevails, although cloudiness is increasing in advance of an approaching winter storm.
In the South, very cold weather prevails in the southern Mid-Atlantic region, but milder air is overspreading the remainder of the region. Dry weather throughout the South favors off-season fieldwork.
In the West, very cold air is settling across the northern tier of the region, from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies. Cool air is spreading southward across California and the Great Basin, accompanied by valley rain and high-elevation snow. Meanwhile, warmth lingers in the Southwest.
