Across the Corn Belt, rain showers linger early Friday in the lower Great Lakes region and the Ohio Valley. Cool air trails the rain, with freezes reported Friday morning in parts of the western Corn Belt, extending as far south as Iowa and Nebraska. Few freeze-related agricultural impacts are expected, as any meaningful summer-crop emergence has not yet occurred in those areas. In Iowa, for example, only 4% of the intended corn acreage had been planted by April 14.
