Weather

Showers and below normal highs remain over much of the southeast to the eastern half of the corn belt through the weekend. Strong to severe storms capable of hail possible from the upper-Midwest through the northern plains. Dry and hot days expected under a strong round of high pressure building across the west. A week of triple digit heat is forecast for much of the southwest desert. Some of this heat will move into the southern plains next week. This will help dry fields out for wheat harvest. We’ll have to watch the heat dome carefully since it has the potential to stress summer crops and livestock next week.
