Across the Corn Belt, preparations for an impending winter storm are underway. For Wednesday, benign conditions are in place, although chilly conditions across the upper Midwest contrast with unusual warmth in the southern and eastern Corn Belt. Wednesday’s high temperatures could reach 65°F or higher in the lower Ohio Valley.
On the Plains, snow is spreading across parts of Montana. Meanwhile, a cold front separates cool air across the northwestern half of the region from lingering warmth on the southern Plains.
