Dry Stretch Opens a Harvest Window Across Bismarck, Minneapolis, Omaha, Des Moines and Denver as Little to No Rain Settles Over the Northern and Central Plains

DES MOINES, IOWA — Farmers across the Northern and Central Plains are getting the break they have been waiting for. A prolonged stretch of dry weather is expected from November 6 to 13, with little to no rainfall across a large part of the country’s farm belt. The dry window covers North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa and eastern Colorado, including Bismarck, Minneapolis, Omaha, Des Moines and Denver. Forecasters say it should give farmers a favorable window to finish remaining harvest operations after a wet start to November slowed fieldwork.

Parts of Iowa could see frost overnight

There is a potential for frost in parts of Iowa tonight. National Weather Service meteorologist Alex Vorst says areas with clear skies could see frost. “The best locations for potentially seeing frost is going to be north, northern, northeastern Iowa where cloud cover looks to be largely minimized as we have this frontal boundary passing tonight,” Vorst says. He says frost is less likely under cloudy skies. “With the incoming boundary and the cloud cover, that will actually help insulate the surface a little bit, and areas where there are clear skies will be able to drop a little bit further temperature wise, be able to cool off temperature wise, and that’s where the frost will be possible,” he says. if you’re in northern Iowa, kind of northeastern Iowa, that’s where you better frost chances will exist.”
