Across the Corn Belt, near- or above-normal temperatures prevail, with the warmest weather—relative to normal—focused across the upper Midwest. Wednesday’s high temperatures could reach 55°F as far north as the lower Missouri Valley. Light snow that fell in recent days, mostly downwind of the Great Lakes, is starting to melt amid the renewed mild regime.
On the Plains, warm weather is maintaining a snow-free environment for overwintering wheat. In fact, record-setting warmth prevails across portions of the northern High Plains, where Wednesday’s high temperatures are expected to reach 55°F as far north as central Montana.
