Across the Corn Belt, although slightly warmer weather prevails, frost was reported again Friday morning in a few areas, mainly across Michigan and Wisconsin. A few rain showers have developed west of the Mississippi River. On May 9, statewide topsoil moisture was rated at least one-third very short to short in Minnesota (44%) and Iowa (37%).
On the Plains, mild, mostly dry weather is ideal for spring fieldwork. A few rain showers have developed, however, across the central Plains.
