Very heavy rainfall in parts of the Ohio Valley

Across the Corn Belt, heavy rain is causing lowland flooding and bringing renewed fieldwork delays to the lower Midwest. Flood Warnings are in effect for several counties in southern sections of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Meanwhile, very cool but dry weather covers the northwestern half of the Corn Belt. Friday morning’s temperatures dipped below 20° in the far upper Midwest.

On the Plains, very cool, breezy weather prevails. Isolated rain and snow showers dot the central Plains, but dry weather covers the remainder of the nation’s mid-section. The dry, windy conditions are maintaining stress on winter wheat, especially from South Dakota to Oklahoma and Texas’ northern panhandle.

In the South, flooding rain is falling across portions of the interior Southeast, including Kentucky and southeastern Missouri. Meanwhile, warm, dry weather prevails across the Deep South, where fieldwork is advancing as field conditions permit.

In the West, cool conditions linger, particularly across the central and southern Rockies. Freeze Warnings were in effect early Friday for numerous valley locations across the Northwest and Intermountain West.
