In the Corn Belt, a fast-moving disturbance is producing light precipitation (rain and snow showers) from the Great Lakes region into the middle Mississippi Valley. On November 28, roughly one-tenth (8 to 11%) of the corn and soybeans remained in the field in Michigan and Ohio. Those states led the Midwest on that date in topsoil moisture rated surplus— 39% in Michigan and 31% in Ohio.
On the Plains, warm, windy weather continues to reduce soil moisture for winter wheat establishment.
