Across the Corn Belt, warm, dry weather is fostering corn and soybean maturation—and an accelerating harvest pace. On September 20, at least one-half of the corn was fully mature in all Midwestern States except Ohio (30% mature), Michigan (37%), North Dakota (39%), and Wisconsin (49%). Friday’s high temperatures should reach or exceed 90° as far north as eastern Nebraska.
On the Plains, a cold front crossing the Dakotas is producing cloudiness and isolated showers.
