Across the Corn Belt, hot weather continues to push summer crops toward maturity. Wednesday’s high temperatures should top 90°F along and southeast of a line from Omaha, Nebraska to Detroit, Michigan, with a few readings near 100°F possible in the middle Mississippi Valley. Scattered showers are tempering the effects of the late-season heat on immature corn and soybeans. Meanwhile, cool weather prevails across the upper Midwest.
On the Plains, dry weather prevails, aside from spotty showers in South Dakota and environs.
