IT WAS NOT UNTIL SUNDAY EVENING...WHEN THE REST OF THOSE HIGH CLOUDS EXITED THE AREA. BY 800 PM SUNDAY...MOST OF THE AREA WAS CLEAR.

SOME SPRINKLES AND LIGHT SHOWERS ACCOMPANIED SOME OF THESE CLOUDS...MAINLY OVER PARTS OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...FAR SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND THE PURCHASE AREA OF WEST KENTUCKY. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE UPPER 30S ACROSS THE NORTH...TO THE MID AND UPPER 40S SOUTH. IT WILL BE A FAIRLY ACTIVE WEEK WEATHER WISE...AS A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS MOVE ACROSS THE QUAD STATE REGION.
