Across the Corn Belt, most areas are experiencing cool, dry weather, with Tuesday’s high temperatures expected to remain near or below 80°F. However, locally heavy rain is falling across the southwestern Corn Belt, especially in Missouri. Recent and ongoing showers in the western Corn Belt have benefited immature summer crops; on August 14, for example, at least one-fifth of the soybeans in Missouri (22%) and Nebraska (20%) were rated in very poor to poor condition.
