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.

A strong system that moved through the Plains and Midwest on Wednesday has moved into Ontario Canada. There are still some effects from the storm including some stronger winds across the northern Midwest, but those will be waning through the day. The cold front to the system is stalling from Texas into the Ohio Valley, where showers will be more active. Much lower temperatures are building in behind the front, a stark contrast from record highs on Wednesday.
