My 2 cents: Thursday July 31, 2014 the 212th Day of Year It will remain cooler than normal for the remainder of the work week, although numbers are headed up over the next several days. This slow warming trend is expected to continue into early next week. By that point, temperatures will move back closer to their average levels for early August. The biggest downside to this forecast is that the persistent lack of significant humidity will not allow for any much-needed, significant rainfall. Currently, just a slight chance of a few light showers exist for the late night/Thursday morning time frame. Even then, whatever does fall would likely occur in SE Missouri or adjacent areas near the Mississippi River of Tennessee.
