 It's Morning Edition from NPR News. I'm Sasha Pfeiffer. And I'm Steve Inskeep. And I'm Kathy Wurzer. Good morning. How is it mid-week already? Wednesday begins with some rain around Worthington and Austin. There's a small chance for showers and storms today. Highs will be in the upper 70s to the mid-80s. We get progressively warmer and muggier as the week goes on as some of that blazing western heat drifts over our region.
