A big change in weather underway across parts of the Heartland

Across the Corn Belt, warm, showery weather is slowing fieldwork across the Ohio Valley, while heavy showers and thunderstorms — some severe — are accompanying a strong cold front sweeping over the middle and upper Mississippi Valley.  A re-enforcing cold front is also triggering showers in the upper Midwest.  Recent dry weather has allowed the corn and soybean harvests to make good progress, with both on par or slightly ahead of the 5-year average nationally.
