Weather

Areas of heavy storms circulate around a heat dome over the southwest. The Dakotas and upper Midwest will be in for some strong to severe storms the next couple of days.

Favorable rains look to keep a good growing pattern over most of the corn belt. Some producers would actually like to see some sunshine across the mid-Atlantic through the eastern belt. Dry time is going to be short-lived as several waves of energy keep things unsettled from the northern plains through the Ohio River Valley. Excessive heat is expected to last through the end of this week over the desert southwest and California’s central valley.
