Across the Corn Belt, mild, dry weather prevails in the wake of a cold front’s passage. Monday’s high temperatures will remain mostly below 85°F, favoring corn and soybean development. However, pockets of short-term Midwestern dryness continue to expand, leaving some areas with limited soil moisture as crops approach the reproductive stage of development.
On the Plains, the weather pattern has flipped, with showers developing in drought-stricken Texas and dry conditions arriving farther north.
