Across the Corn Belt, rain associated with a storm system crossing the southern Plains is quickly overspreading the middle Mississippi and lower Missouri Valleys. Dry weather covers the remainder of the Midwest, except for some light snow in the upper Great Lakes region. Mild weather in the Ohio Valley contrasts with cool conditions in the upper Midwest.
On the Plains, weather and travel conditions are deteriorating early Wednesday across the Oklahoma panhandle and adjoining areas in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, and Texas, due to windy weather, falling temperatures, and rain changing to snow.
