- Above normal temperatures continued across the Midwest over the weekend with daytime highs in the 60's and 70's. Not much change is expected through this week with minor day to day fluctuations, however remaining warner than normal, not only this week as it looks warmer than normal in the 6-10 and 11-15 day outlooks. This does not mean it will stay as warm as this week beyond Saturday as daily averages are falling about a degree every couple days, but I don't see any major cold snaps looking out the next couple weeks. Rainfall this week will be confined to the west half of the Cornbelt while the east looks dry the next 5 days. There will be changes during the 6-10 day period with the western third drier and below normal precipitation with above normal rainfall in the central and eastern Midwest. As a result, crop harvesting will be slowed in a larger area of the region next week. Not much chamge in the 11-15 day period with mostly above normal precipitation for the Cornbelt.
