Across the Corn Belt, most areas are experiencing a brief period of dry weather between cold fronts. However, showers and thunderstorms are overspreading the western Corn Belt, providing beneficial moisture for corn and soybeans that have been weathering very dry conditions in recent weeks. In Iowa, for example, topsoil moisture was rated 63% very short to short on August 13, according to USDA.
On the Plains, unsettled, showery weather prevails.
