Across the Corn Belt, dry weather prevails, despite an increase in cloudiness. Meanwhile, unusual warmth is further reducing the coverage of any remaining snow across the upper Great Lakes region, including Wisconsin. Tuesday afternoon’s high temperatures in the lower Missouri Valley should generally range from 73 to 78°.
On the Plains, record-setting warmth continues in advance of an approaching cold front. On March 8, daily-record high temperatures included 68° in Pierre, South Dakota, and 64° in Bismarck, North Dakota.
