Across the Corn Belt, temperatures have rebounded to near- or above-normal levels, with Wednesday’s high temperatures expected to range from near the freezing mark (32°F) in the Red River Valley of the North to 50°F or higher in the lower Ohio Valley. Despite the warming trend, an extensive snow cover—with depths locally a foot or greater—remains on the ground in the upper Midwest and portions of the Great Lakes region.
On the Plains, mild, mostly dry weather prevails, despite increasing cloudiness.
