Across the Corn Belt, mild, dry weather continues. Dozens of upper Midwestern communities recently completed a record warm December, with monthly temperatures averaging more than 12°F above normal—and breaking records from 1939— in South Dakota locations such as Sisseton and Watertown.
On the Plains, dry weather accompanies generally near- or above-normal temperatures. Wednesday’s high temperatures should range from near 20°F in the Red River Valley of the North to 55°F or higher in much of Texas and southern Oklahoma.
