Across the Corn Belt, a slow warming trend has commenced. Chilly conditions linger, however, in the eastern Corn Belt, where Friday’s high temperatures should range from 50 to 55°F—and some fields remain unfavorably wet. Meanwhile, harvest activities continue (or have resumed) in the western Corn Belt, where mild, dry weather prevails.
On the Plains, dry, breezy conditions accompany unusual warmth. Later Friday, high temperatures should reach or exceed 70°F as far north as southern South Dakota.
