The Energy Department's report on natural gas storage follows at 10 a.m. USDA's Livestock, Dairy and Poultry outlook is set for 2 p.m.
Weather
A small cutoff low in the Four Corners area will continue to produce some waves of showers in the Southwestern Plains for Thursday, being heavy in some areas. That includes snow that could be quite heavy in some areas. The rest of the country will be warm and dry.
