Rains soaked portions of the Corn Belt this week, swamping fields in Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota, and more storms are expected early next week ahead of a warm-up, meteorologists said Friday.The wet and warm outlook is generally favorable for corn and soybean crops overall, forecasters said, despite areas of flooding.The National Weather Service posted flood warnings Friday in northwest Iowa, northern Illinois and neighboring southeast South Dakota, where some areas received five to six inches of rain over the past seven days.“There has been some heavy stuff, but it’s pretty localized,” said Joel Widenor, a meteorologist with the Commodity Weather Group.To complicate matters, farm residents near Little Rock River, south of Doon, were evacuated in the early morning hours of Friday after a train carrying oil was derailed and some of the oil emptied into the floodwaters.Temperatures should warm next week, with highs reaching the low 90s Fahrenheit by the end of the week in Chicago.
