Across the Corn Belt, dry weather and cooler-than-normal conditions prevail in the wake of a cold front’s passage, maintaining mostly favorable growing conditions. On July 26, nearly three-quarters (72%) of the U.S. corn and soybeans were rated in good to excellent condition, despite lingering pockets of Midwestern dryness and crop stress.
On the Plains, showers and thunderstorms in the vicinity of a cold front are heaviest across parts of Oklahoma and northern Texas.
