An upper level disturbance over south-central Mn will spread clouds and light showers across western, central Ia and eastern Ia today and tonight before departing early on Thursday. Heavier showers and thunderstorms will be possible from southeastern Mn and southern Wi and over northeastern Il this morning increasing over northern In this PM and evening. Additional showers and thunderstorms will continue to increase along the Ohio River across extreme southern In spreading over Oh today as a cold front approaches that area. Thursday and Friday will become Sunny, cool and dry with highs in the mid 60s to lower 70s for the western cornbelt spreading eastward with lows in the 30s for Friday morning over southern Wi, northern Il and northeastern Ia. In the west, thunderstorm chances will then return late on Friday and persist at intervals into early next week, with temperatures slowly warming and highs approaching 80 by Tuesday and Wednesday. Scattered showers and thundershowers will be on the increase across the eastern corn belt states over the weekend into next week as well. Planting conditions will be slowed across southern Mn, northern eastern Ia and southern Wi. With last week's 5+ days of suitable field working days in Ia, we've probably had a total of 15-20 field working days since April 1st of this year. Scattered showers this week and early next week could limit some field activity, it is conceivable that the number of field working days could total up around 25 to 30 for the two month period for Ia that would put us about a week behind the median values.
