Across the Corn Belt, cool, cloudy, breezy weather prevails in the wake of a cold front’s passage. Monday morning’s low temperatures fell below 10° in parts of the upper Midwest, especially in areas where snow remains on the ground following the December 23 blizzard.
On the Plains, tranquil weather prevails, although cloudiness has begun to increase across the southern half of the region. Although most winter wheat production areas are currently devoid of snow cover, the National Weather Service has issued advisories for wintry weather, effective later Monday into Tuesday, for much of Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
