Across the Corn Belt, a slow-moving storm system is producing widespread showers, with mostly positive impacts on corn and soybeans. Early Monday, the most significant rain is falling in the eastern Corn Belt, from Illinois to Ohio. Over the last several days, however, substantial rainfall was focused across the western and southwestern Corn Belt, from South Dakota to Missouri, with some areas experiencing flash flooding.
On the Plains, below-normal temperatures have spread as far south as Oklahoma and Texas’ northern panhandle, accompanied by widely scattered showers and thunderstorms.
