Power Outage in Cass County

Osage Valley Electric Cooperative Crews are working on repairs to restore power in the areas of Freeman and Lake Annette in Cass County at this time. 

This outage is affecting 340 members at this time. Power will be restored as quickly as possible.

Next 5 days weather wise

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will greet the day, with storms possible in the afternoon, but for the most part it is looking dry across much of the region for today and on through the weekend. 

Temperatures and humidity values will make it feel like summer out there, because it is, but it does look like the broader region will get to dry out a little bit as the focus for storms will move across southern and eastern Missouri over the next few days. 

Expect temperatures to cool off a little on the other side of the weekend, but that also might bring a returning threat for storms by Tuesday of next week.
