Harvest Window Closing Fast as Active Pattern Returns to the Corn Belt October 12 to 16, Sending Gulf and Subtropical Moisture Toward Des Moines, Minneapolis and Chicago
DES MOINES, IOWA — Farmers across the Corn Belt have a key dry stretch for harvest this week, but forecasters say it will not last long. A more active weather pattern is expected to return for the central U.S. around October 12 to 16, as a dip in the jet stream over the West pulls subtropical moisture and Gulf moisture northeast into the Plains and Midwest. That means rain chances are likely to ramp back up for Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and surrounding states, making it critical for farmers to take advantage of the current dry window.
