Across the Corn Belt, showers are limited to the lower Great Lakes region, mainly across Michigan. Elsewhere, mild, dry weather favors corn and soybean development, which is mostly behind schedule due to earlier planting delays. Wednesday’s high temperatures will remain below 80°F in the vicinity of the Great Lakes—but should reach or exceed 90°F in parts of the southwestern Corn Belt.
On the Plains, heat is expanding northward, with Wednesday’s high temperatures expected to reach or exceed 100°F as far north as eastern Montana.
