Cooler by Front and Cloud

Surface Temperatures/Radar at 1:15 pm

Thanks to very persistent clouds in the wake of morning rain and storms, our temperatures have remained quite cool this afternoon.

Readings are only in the seventies over much of the Ozarks.  Meanwhile, areas south of the rain and cooler front are in the one-hundred’s again.  Also, where the sun has come out in upstate Missouri, temperatures are recovering to near ninety. (which was my forecast for today, it won’t work out form much of the area but in this case I’m happy!)

Notice that in Iowa, the temperature do cool and dew points drop.  This are is behind a second cool front dropping southward.  The upshot of all of this is that we will be more comfortable over the next few days!
