Weather models were on the right track yesterday in suggesting that rains from the upcoming closed, upper-level low pressure system would stay mainly west of Interstate 35 in the Corn Belt. Rains from that system will get started in the eastern Dakotas tonight, then cover areas west of Interstate 35 for tomorrow and tomorrow night. The rains will not work any further east than that though, as our upper-level low will actually retrograde (i.e. move west) during the weekend period. Bigger rains over the next three days will be further south as tropical moisture flows into Texas and the southwestern Delta. A lot of that area is going to see one to two inch rains (locally even heavier, particularly over Louisiana) and that is especially good news for southern Texas where a brutal drought has been ongoing over the last several months.
Some of the rain from that system should eventually work its way into the southern Corn Belt (probably mainly south of Interstate 80) for late in the weekend through early next week. For the next week, it will be Wisconsin, Michigan, northeastern Iowa, and northern parts of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio that look to be the driest; everyone else in the Corn Belt will likely get at least a half inch of rain during that period. The growing season still looks to continue for another ten days (at least), with no frost threats whatsoever during that period. That forecast would include the Northern Plains and Canadian prairies as well as the Corn Belt. In fact, the seven-day time frame ending on September 21 could be an exceptionally warm period for the Northern Plains and Canadian prairies (ironically coinciding with the time of year when a lot of that area normally sees its first fall frost) with temperatures running about ten degrees above normal. Clouds and rainfall likely will keep temperatures in the Corn Belt running fairly close to normal over the next ten days or longer.
