Across the Corn Belt, below-normal temperatures are benefiting reproductive to filling summer crops. Monday’s Midwestern high temperatures should generally range from 75 to 85°F. In addition, showers and thunderstorms have developed across the southwestern Corn Belt, following the recent heat wave that resulted in some of the hottest weather in a decade. For example, Columbia, Missouri, attained 105°F on July 23, representing the highest reading in that location since July 2012, when there were 8 days with temperatures reaching 105°F or greater.
