Weather
Scattered showers will continue across the eastern half of the country on Friday as a large, mature system spins across the eastern Midwest. Showers will be light to moderate but could last all day in some areas, leading to further or extensions of delays for the remaining corn and soybean harvest, as well as winter wheat planting. A frontal boundary will set up across the Canadian Prairies throughout the day and will bring cold temperatures to the U.S. over the weekend and into next week.
