Across Corn Belt, chilly weather lingers early Friday across the upper Great Lakes region. Meanwhile, showers and a few thunderstorms are developing in the vicinity of a warm front stretching from the Dakotas into the Ohio Valley. South of the warm front, very warm, humid weather has arrived across the southwestern Corn Belt.
On the Plains, livestock producers in parts of Wyoming, eastern Montana, and the western Dakotas are preparing for another winter-like storm. Early Friday, in advance of an approaching storm system, a chilly rain is falling across parts of the northern Plains. In contrast, hot, dry, windy weather across the central and southern Plains is stressing winter grains and greatly increasing the wildfire potential. Friday’s high temperatures should range from 85 to 90°F or higher as far north as the Nebraska-South Dakota border.
