Cooler this weekend
Several fronts move over the area like last night with all the winds. Most of them are dry, but I'm watching Friday night / Saturday morning for a front which could bring some snow - but models are backing off this as of this morning.
Still, Thursday night's cold front begins a cold stretch.
Doesn't last too long as by next week we're back to above-average temps.

DWI driver walks away after I-49 crash, apprehended shortly after
Over the weekend, Nevada Police Officers Palmer and Miller were dispatched to I-49 in reference to a motor vehicle crash where the driver had fled the scene.
Upon arrival, officers began investigating the crash and searching the surrounding area for the driver. Officer Palmer located the driver, a Kansas City resident, walking along nearby railroad tracks a short time later.
During the investigation, officers observed indicators that the subject was under the influence of alcohol. The driver initially could not be positively identified on scene; however, officers utilized a mobile fingerprint scanner, which successfully confirmed the subject’s identity.
The individual was taken into custody and is facing multiple charges, including Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), Driving While Revoked, and Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Crash.
We appreciate the quick response and thorough investigative work by our officers to ensure the safety of the motoring public.

Obituary - Molly Jane DeVasher
Born on August 1, 1985, Molly was the beloved daughter of Robert and Catherine (Chadwick) Sexauer and a cherished sister to her seven siblings. She was a proud mother, wife, cousin, aunt, niece, and friend to so many who were blessed to know her.
On August 14, 2021, she married the love of her life, Dusty DeVasher. Together they created a beautiful, blended family built on love, laughter, and unwavering support. Molly was a devoted mother to Danika, Millie, Dayton, Brian, and Hannah, and together she and Dusty welcomed their missing piece, Dawson. Her children were her greatest joy, and she poured her heart into every game cheered, every meal cooked, every lesson taught, and every hug given.
Molly was truly the light of every room she walked into. Her presence was warm, magnetic, and unforgettable. She was a gifted chef, a loyal friend, and the kind of woman who made everyone feel at home. Recently, she delighted in renewing her passion for working with students with behavioral needs where she brought the same loving energy she offered to her own children. She loved card games, throwing darts, and a competitive round of cornhole. Summers meant everything to her: 4th of July celebrations, farm life, lake weekends, concerts. She would often be found making memories with her people while cheering on the Mizzou Tigers, Royals and the Chiefs with delectable food spreads to feed an army. And of course, she never turned down a perfectly chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc shared with those she loved.
More than anything, Molly loved fiercely. She loved her family deeply, protected them passionately, and celebrated them loudly. Her laugh, her spirit, and her beautiful heart will live on in the lives she touched and the family she built.
Though our hearts ache in her absence, we carry her light forward; in summer sunsets, in cheering from the sidelines, in shared meals, and in every perfectly chilled glass raised in her honor.
She will be missed beyond words and loved beyond measure.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Vansant-Mills Funeral Home of Clinton, Missouri. Obituary submitted by the family.
