Warm Weather Continues

The warmth of yesterday carried over to today. We had a lot of sunshine early in the day, but as the day progressed, the clouds began to increase as well. The sun was still able to penetrate the clouds, but the skies were not the crystal clear blue that they were on Monday. A few storms developed in the northern part of the state late this afternoon and this evening, but they moved east. There's still a shield of rain in Missouri crossing into southern Illinois, but it will likely fizzle before it reaches us here. I don't look for a lot of rain over the next couple of days. Let's hope I'm wrong.
