Very Cold Week Ahead For US Plains And Midwest
Some unprotected US winter wheat crops run the risk of damage by winter kill next week as brutally cold weather hits the Midwest and the Northern Plains.
These conditions are forecast to arrive Monday, and last right through the rest of the week.
Daily highs will struggle to get above zero in many areas, with lows of 10 to 20 degrees below zero dominating. Some areas may fall to minus 30 as a core of Arctic air moves in from the north.
Some light snowfalls are also in the forecast, which may provide some protection for the dormant crop, analysts say.
