Rain, scattered storms break-out as temps, weather vary across the Heartland

Across the Corn Belt, rain showers and scattered, strong thunderstorms crossing the upper Mississippi Valley are causing temporary corn and soybean harvest delays.  A surge of warmth has reached the southwestern Corn Belt, where Tuesday’s high temperatures in parts of Missouri could reach 85°F. 

On the Plains, tropically enhanced showers associated with the remnants of former eastern Pacific Hurricane Norma— currently a tropical depression located near Culiacán, Mexico—are spreading across the Rio Grande into parts of Texas.
