U.S. Weather: Cold Front Digs Deeper into Midwest

The NWS has issued frost advisories for Saturday morning across parts of the northern Corn Belt. Some of the coldest weather can be expected in Wisconsin, where as of September 28 corn was 84% dented and 36% mature, and soybeans were 95% turning color and 79% dropping leaves. Crops in Michigan will be somewhat less vulnerable due to slightly greater maturity (corn 59% mature; soybeans 80% dropping leaves). The threat of frost will linger into Sunday morning across the Great Lakes region.
