More rain for the southern Corn Belt; cooler, drier air on the move elsewhere

Across the Corn Belt, showers in the vicinity of a cold front stretch from Ohio to Missouri.  The remainder of the Midwest is experiencing dry weather and near- or below-normal temperatures.  Tuesday’s high temperatures will remain near or below 80°F in the central and eastern Corn Belt, including much of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

On the Plains, hot weather in Oklahoma and Texas continues to adversely affect rangeland, pastures, and many summer crops, including cotton, despite scattered showers.
