Across the Corn Belt, a high-pressure system centered over the middle Missouri Valley is resulting in a sharp cold snap, with Monday morning’s minimum temperatures across the upper Midwest generally ranging from 10 to 20°F. Freezes were noted early Monday throughout the Corn Belt, with blustery conditions and a few snow showers occurring from the Mississippi Valley eastward.
On the Plains, dry weather accompanies below-normal temperatures. Monday morning’s low temperatures fell below 32°F as far south as the northern panhandle of Texas, while readings below 20°F were common in Nebraska and the Dakotas.
