Across the Corn Belt, mostly dry weather accompanies below-normal temperatures. Early Tuesday, exceptions to the dry pattern include light snow in eastern North Dakota and a rain/snow mix in the lower Missouri Valley. An extensive snow cover remains in place across much of the upper Midwest, while lowland flooding is occurring along a few lower Midwestern rivers. For example, the Meramec River at Valley Park, Missouri, crested 5.72 feet above flood stage on Monday, the highest water level measured in that location since January 2020.
