Cold temperatures and wintry precipitation were the main weather stories of weekend Corn Belt weather. The growing season is over for the Dakotas, Nebraska, northern/western Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, northern Missouri, Wisconsin, central/northern Illinois and far northwestern Indiana as all of those areas had temperatures at least to 32 degrees over the weekend with a lot of that area seeing temperatures in the 20s. Normally in autumn it takes a clear, calm night to give individual locations their first readings below 32 degrees, but residents of places like Des Moines and Omaha awoke Saturday morning to their first sub-32 degree temperatures of the fall…as well as their first snow of the fall! About an inch of snow fell at Des Moines (earliest ever occurrence of an inch of snow), with reports of over five inches in parts of the Omaha area. Even heavier snow was recorded further west in Nebraska with some places getting more than a foot (such as at North Platte). Ahead for the Nation’s midsection is more cold and damp weather, but hope for better weather for the end of this week and into very early next week. We will see three weather systems this week, the first of which is on the map this morning and is producing light, mixed precipitation for the northwestern Corn Belt, some rain in the southeastern Corn Belt, and considerable rain in the Delta and especially the Southeast (flood and flash flood watches are posted for northern Alabama and northern Georgia).
The second weather system arrives for tomorrow afternoon in the far western Corn Belt, spreading quickly into the eastern Corn Belt and Delta for tomorrow night and Wednesday. The final system is in the western Corn Belt for Wednesday night, and will be exiting out of the eastern Corn Belt and Delta on Friday. The bulk of the Corn Belt will be seeing better than a half inch of moisture from now through Friday, but plenty of spots will gauge more than an inch. One to three inch rains will be common for this work-week for the Delta and Southeast, but locally four to five inches or even more for especially northern Alabama and northern Georgia. There will likely not be much precipitation in the Corn Belt for Friday through Monday, and quite possibly a day or two more than that for the Delta. Cold temperatures through about Saturday should also give way to warming for the late weekend and early next week. October 20-21 would be the next time frame to expect a weather system, and that far away you can assume correctly that there are a lot of model differences on its track and intensity.
