Across the Corn Belt, overnight showers and thunderstorms provided some beneficial moisture for corn and soybeans in Iowa and portions of neighboring states. However, very dry conditions persist across the far upper Midwest, including much of the Dakotas. In addition, hot weather prevails west of the Mississippi River, where Wednesday’s high temperatures will generally range from 90 to 100°F. Meanwhile in the eastern Corn Belt, Wednesday’s highs will remain at or below 80°F.
On the Plains, hot, mostly dry weather prevails.
