In the fall and winter months, a little cloud cover goes a long way towards messing up a low temperature forecast, and that is exactly what we are seeing this morning in the upper Mississippi River Valley. Low temperatures expected to easily be in the 30s for eastern Iowa, southeastern Minnesota, southern Wisconsin, and northern Illinois instead were largely in the 40s at 5AM Central Time due to unpredicted cloud cover that moved into that area overnight. Clear skies in northern Wisconsin and northeastern Minnesota have allowed temperatures there to drop into the 20s in spots, so that shows us the potential that this air mass had with respect to its cold. We have one more cold morning to deal with, and that is tomorrow for Michigan, northeastern Indiana, and much of Ohio. For primary corn and soybean growing areas, low temperatures should easily drop into the 30s, with some spots in especially Michigan dropping to 32 degrees or a little lower.
We should open at least the first eight days of October with conditions frost-free in the Midwest (though some 30s may be seen on occasion). Around October 9 may be a date to keep in mind for our next threat of sub-freezing temperatures, though details on something that far away are not possible yet. Lots of rain for the first week of October (at least) still looks to be a big weather story. Rain will be found in the Dakotas, eastern Nebraska, and western Iowa by tomorrow morning, with rain into the eastern Corn Belt and Delta by Friday morning. The rain will not last long in the Delta, but light showers may plague especially northeastern parts of the Corn Belt through the first half of the weekend. Fairly big rainfall totals from this system are forecast for the Dakotas, Iowa, Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and northwestern Illinois. Rain will be falling again by Monday morning in the western Corn Belt and Plains, with that rain into the Delta and eastern Corn Belt by Tuesday morning. A lot of soybean harvesting is being done right now, but with all of this rain in the forecast the prospects for getting a lot done during the first week of October look poor.
