An Oklahoma cattle market expert fears regional drought impact on U.S. cow herd numbers.
An extreme windstorm blew across the Plains and portions of the Midwest along with another line of severe storms and tornadoes Dec. 15-16.
A frontal boundary left over from a strong system on Wednesday will continue to be active from the southeastern Plains through the Ohio Valley on Friday. Scattered rain showers will soak some areas that are trying to recover from last week's severe weather. Dryness and drought continue to build in the southwestern Plains, which is unfavorable for winter wheat, a theme for the winter.
A system that is working through the Plains will pick up a stationary front draped from the southeastern Plains to the Ohio Valley and sweep it southeastward this weekend. Scattered showers may be heavy for the rest of Friday and into Saturday before it begins significant movement.
