Across the Corn Belt, a narrow band of rain is sweeping across the Great Lakes region. Elsewhere, dry weather accompanies below-normal temperatures. In fact, Thursday’s high temperatures will remain below 80°F throughout the upper Midwest. Parts of the western and northern Corn Belt lack adequate soil moisture, with adverse effects on pastures and potential impacts on corn and soybeans.
On the Plains, dry weather accompanies rising temperatures. Later Thursday, readings will reach 100°F or higher as far north as Montana.
