Across the Corn Belt, precipitation (rain and snow) arriving from the southwest is overspreading parts of Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska. Meanwhile, a cold front stretching from Michigan to Missouri represents the demarcation between cooler air to the northwest and lingering above-normal temperatures (highs of 60 to 65° later Friday) in the Ohio Valley. A few eastern Corn Belt fields, mainly corn, have not yet been harvested.
On the Plains, seasonable temperatures have returned across most of the region.
