My 2 cents: Wednesday September 17, 2014 the 260th Day of Year Well Emilys surgery went well yesterday,but she had to stay over night. As that cooler, drier air settles over the region, areas of fog could develop near those (relatively) warmer rivers and lakes by Wednesday morning... some of which could be quite thick. Another disturbance, in the middle of the country tomorrow, will throw some additional cloud cover our way. With the clouds could come a few light showers, but mainly in SE Missouri. Beyond that, sunny weather should prevail for the end of the week, thats as temperatures gradually move back into the 80s by Saturday.
