By the time the air descends into the western Midwest, it has lost much of its moisture, resulting in drier conditions.

The western region of the Midwest is dry primarily due to its geographical location and climate patterns. It is situated in the rain shadow of the Rocky Mountains, which block moisture-laden air from the Pacific Ocean, leading to reduced precipitation.

These factors combined result in a drier environment compared to the eastern Midwest.
