St. Louis woman slightly injured in rural Bates county accident

According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, a 26 year old woman from St. Louis sustained minor injuries on Thursday when the 2007 Saturn she was driving left the roadway to avoid collision with a skid steer on 52 highway near county road 6285.

According to the report, the driver of the skid steer elected to leave the scene of the accident before authorities arrived. The highway patrol was assisted on scene by the Bates County Sheriff's Office.

The MSHP no longer provides names of victims in publicly available accident reports.

Much cooler temps by the end of the week

 Colder temps are indeed on the way

Fortunately, they look sporadic with some breaks. But the downward turn will begin Wednesday night / Thursday morning. Cold, but not super-cold yet anyway.

Ensemble forecasts agree the next cold blast will greet us Thanksgiving morning [image 1], with another one to start the first week of December.

Archie beats Lockwood in action this afternoon

 

The Archie Whirlwinds took down the Lockwood Tigers this afternoon with a final as seen here, 62-58 in 8 man State Tournament action. Congratulations!

Sunshine should be peeking through this weekend

 

Watch out for PATCHY FOG Saturday morning, especially in Missouri between highways 65 and 63.

Then the sunshine should break through the departing clouds for the rest of the weekend.

I'll be jumping on the livestreams over the weekend tracking in the next rain system on Sunday night / Monday.

Still think the holiday and holiday weekend are cool, but dry. (It will snow up north in the midwest though, according to this afternoon's data!)

Have a great weekend!
