Across the Corn Belt, a sharp temperature gradient exists. Thursday’s high temperatures will range from near 0°F in the Red River Valley of the North to 60°F along the Ohio River. A few snow showers are occurring across the northern Corn Belt, while some light rain is falling in the lower Great Lakes region.
On the Plains, persistently cold conditions (locally below -10°F early Thursday), accompanied by patchy snow, are maintaining stress on livestock across much of Montana and the Dakotas.
