Late-summer heat expands across the Midwest
Across the Corn Belt, showers and thunderstorms are confined to the upper Great Lakes region. Elsewhere, warm weather is promoting the maturation of developmentally delayed corn and soybeans.
On the Plains, late-season warmth across the southern half of the region continues to promote summer crop maturation and harvesting. Wednesday’s high temperatures should again approach or reach 100° across portions of the southern Plains. In contrast, cool air is spreading across the northern High Plains.
In the South, warm, humid, mostly dry weather is generally favorable for fieldwork and crop maturation.
In the West, a new round of cool, showery weather is spreading across areas from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies, further aiding wildfire containment efforts. Elsewhere, dry weather prevails, although cool conditions in California contrast with lingering warmth in the Four Corners States.
