Weather
A cold front is drifting south through the Corn Belt for Tuesday. Early severe thunderstorms from northern Illinois into Michigan will be watched to see if they can be maintained throughout the day. But additional showers and thunderstorms will develop along the front later Tuesday afternoon and evening from Nebraska to Michigan, which may continue south overnight into Wednesday. South of the front, it continues to be hot.
