Significant rains developing on the Plains; cool across the Corn Belt

Across the Corn Belt, widespread frost was reported Monday morning in the upper Great Lakes region, particularly in northern sections of Michigan and Wisconsin.  The cool weather trails last week’s multi-day Midwestern severe weather outbreak, which included a fatal tornado on May 20 in Gaylord, Michigan.  The chilly conditions, with Monday’s high temperatures remaining below 70°F, are also slowing a return to fieldwork in areas that recently received heavy rain.

On the Plains, a significant rain event is just getting underway.
