A Winter-like pattern dominates much of the Heartland

Across the Corn Belt, cold, breezy weather and snow showers are limiting late-season fieldwork, although the overall pace of corn and soybean harvesting remains mostly ahead of schedule.  Earlier this week, a Midwestern storm produced generally light snow, much of which remains on the ground.  Deep snow is confined to parts of the far upper Midwest, including North Dakota, and localized areas downwind of the Great Lakes.

On the Plains, cold, windy weather dominates the northern half of the region, where Thursday’s high temperatures will range from 10 to 30°F.
