Across the Corn Belt, warm, windy weather prevails. The upper Midwest, which had snow on the ground as recently as Tuesday morning, is bracing for the possibility of severe thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes. Wednesday’s high temperatures should reach 70°F or higher as far north as Iowa—some of the warmest weather ever observed so late in the year.
On the Plains, areas from the northern panhandle of Texas to southern Nebraska are bracing for very dangerous wildfire-spread conditions Wednesday, as very windy, dry conditions atop critically dry fine fuels could result in explosive grassfire growth.
