Weather
Snow and mixed precipitation across the central Plains, the southwest to the north-central Midwest regions during Wednesday will affect travel, transport and seasonal fieldwork, including harvesting in Midwest areas. The heaviest snow, 2-4 inches and locally heavier, is likely to occur from east Iowa and northwest and north Illinois through southern Wisconsin. Rain, showers and thundershowers elsewhere in the east and south Midwest, the Delta and into the east-central U.S. areas is also likely to affect seasonal fieldwork today. Cold, dry conditions, will favor harvesting in the Northern Plains and for the most part in the Canadian Prairies as well.
