Warmer weather on the Plains; some rain, wet snow over the central, southern Corn Belt

Across the Corn Belt, light precipitation, including some wet snow, is falling in the middle Mississippi and lower Ohio Valleys.  Dry weather covers the remainder of the region, with warmth returning across the upper Midwest.  In fact, Friday’s high temperatures will range from 60 to 75°F in South Dakota—but will remain mostly below 50°F in the eastern Corn Belt.  Except near the Canadian border and downwind of the Great Lakes, negligible snow remains on the ground.
