Rainfall has been a common site the past 24 hours in southern and eastern parts of the Corn Belt, with radar early on this Thursday still showing extensive shower and thunderstorm activity in a band from northern Missouri eastward through northern Indiana, then southward in an area covering the Indiana/Ohio border. The southeastern half of Missouri, far southeastern Iowa, the southern half of Illinois, the southern third of Indiana, and southwestern Ohio is the area that has been hit especially hard by rainfall since yesterday morning. Within that area, rainfall amounts of 0.50-2.00 inches have been common, but one can find small areas where rainfall has exceeded three inches. A few counties in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana were under flash flood warnings early today. For the same areas that got hit with all the rain the past 24 hours, there is still more rain to come. Once we get by today’s rains, I think that we can see largely dry weather during the daylight hours tomorrow before rain again moves through for tomorrow night and early Saturday. Southern and southwestern parts of the Corn Belt will be the focus of rainfall on Sunday and Monday, and we should see those rains gradually lift northward as next week progresses.
The next five days should feature another one to two inches of rain for the same areas that got hit hard last night, with Kansas, southwestern Iowa, and Nebraska also taking part in those same rains. Clearly those rains will be deemed as beneficial for crop prospects in Iowa and Nebraska, but for the rest of the area in question they will continue to delay the completion of soybean planting. Those same areas should dry out some later next week, with the rainfall forecast for Tuesday and beyond featuring the best rainfall chances over the Dakotas, Minnesota, northeastern Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, northeastern Illinois, and most of Indiana and Ohio. While cool temperatures will dominate especially northwestern parts of the Corn Belt through the early weekend, we will see a warming trend next week to give most of the Midwest a true taste of more typical early summer conditions (i.e. temperatures in the 80s with a lot of humidity).
