Across the Corn Belt, clear skies aid the final stages of Midwestern fieldwork, although rain is beginning to spread into the Ohio Valley.
On the Plains, a wintry mix of precipitation is providing much-needed moisture to portions of New Mexico and Texas, though locally strong storms are possible as the stormy weather advances eastward. Dry weather prevails from Kansas northward, while patchy snow cover lingers over Montana and North Dakota.
In the South, widespread, locally heavy showers cover a large area extending from the Gulf Coast into the mid-Atlantic Region.
