Skilling: Midwest's crops helping boost humidities
The country's most humid air sits over a large swath of the Midwest on Friday—air that is more humid over sections of the Heartland than the perennially muggy Gulf Coast. That's not an accident. The Midwest is home to much of this country's most productive cropland and crops send moisture airborne through a process known as transpiration—the evaporation of water from the leaves of plants. Strolling by a mature cornfield, you'll feel a surge of moisture. Dew points, the preferred measure of moisture among meteorologists, are expected to reach the 70s later Friday in Chicago and could surge to near 80 degrees in sections of Missouri and Iowa—a level most often associated with tropical rain forests.
