Trends of projected high temperature frequencies (daily Tmax ≥ 35°C) in the 21st century during corn growth stages of emergence (VE), six-leaf (V6), ten-leaf (V10), silking (R1), and physiological maturity (R6), for full and short season corn cultivars planted at (a) Business-as-usual dates. (b) 14-days before the last spring freeze. (c) 1-day after the last spring freeze, at three locations in the Northeast United States under emission scenarios of RCP 4.5 and 8.5. Solid and dashed lines are median trends of data predicted by nine Global Climate Models and shaded areas represent standard error of the mean.
