Weather, temps continue in a wide-range across much of the Heartland

Across the Corn Belt, mild weather prevails, except for chilly conditions in the Red River Valley of the North.  Showers in the eastern and southern Corn Belt are expected to become more widespread during Friday, especially in Missouri and points to the east.  Some snow is falling in some west-central sections.  Recent precipitation has eased dryness in parts of the central and eastern Corn Belt, but drought concerns persist in areas of the upper Midwest that were affected by dryness last summer and did not receive much snow during the winter of 2023-24.
