Dexter, Missouri – The National Weather Service in Paducah, Kentucky has issued a FREEZE WATCH from late Thursday night through Friday morning. High pressure will build in with a reinforcing shot of cold Canadian air Thursday night. This will cause temperatures to drop to or below freezing across the entire area. A widespread frost will accompany the freeze if the high builds in strong enough to cause skies to clear and winds to diminish sufficiently.
Thursday night lows are forecast in the upper half of the 20s across the North, especially from the highlands of Southeast Missouri toward the interstate 64 corridor of Southern Illinois.
A FREEZE WATCH means sub-freezing temperatures are possible. These conditions could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation.

Dexter, Missouri – Who has Cardinal spirit? Lloyd Hyten does. He bounces from being retired to keeping himself busy, but no matter what he is doing he never stops loving the St. Louis Cardinals. He created a new online business called Unique Design Apparel, which includes his latest St. Louis Cardinal designs.
The Cardinals have won the World Series 11 times in their history. Owning a unique t-shirt commemorating their success will make you a popular fan! These shirts are not sold anywhere, but right here in Dexter, Missouri.
Lloyd stated, “I have gone through all the hoops to make this a real business from designing a website to get tax ID number, etc. I was in St. Louis and I also checked with them to make sure I am not infringing on any copyright laws. My unique designs are available online or I can deliver them to you if you live close.” His designs are original and thought through down to the smallest detail.
His "What Time Is It?" shirts are a hit. Everywhere he travels, people are asking him about them.
If you would like to purchase a high quality unique Cardinal style shirt just contact Lloyd at lloyd.hyten@yahoo.com or go to his website at http://uniquedesignapparel.com.
