Across the Corn Belt, rain lingers in the lower Great Lakes region, including much of Lower Michigan, while some mixed precipitation (rain and wet snow) is falling in the upper Mississippi Valley. Temperatures are above normal for this time of year, although fog, melting snow, and muddy conditions are locally hampering rural travel. In addition, river flooding is occurring in some areas, with the Kankakee River near Wilmington, Illinois, less than one-half foot from a record crest.
