A warm-up begins on parts of the Plains; cold weather continues across much of the Corn Belt

Across the Corn Belt, cold air remains in place.  Across the western Corn Belt, Wednesday morning’s low temperatures fell to 20°F or below as far south as northern Missouri.  Meanwhile, breezy conditions—accompanied by rain and snow showers—linger in the eastern Corn Belt.  Corn and soybean harvest activities continue to advance, especially in the western Corn Belt, but some Midwestern winter wheat is being planted into very dry soils.

On the Plains, dry weather prevails.
