Monday morning's cool temps, clear skies and light winds are making way for a couple of summer-like days this afternoon and again Tuesday. Look for sunshine and a few high clouds both days with afternoon highs in the mid-80s. Wednesday a strong storm system will pass by Kansas to our north dragging a cold front through our region. The front will bring some passing sprinkles or rain showers, gusty northerly winds and colder temperatures. Afternoon highs Wednesday will fall into 60s and 70s then tumble into the even cooler 50s and 60s Thursday and Friday.

Just wanted to remind you that CBS and KWCH will be airing Wednesday's presidential debate at 8pm. And so will who knows how many other channels....which will no doubt cause people to question why the same thing has to be on so many channels at the same time. I guess the simplest reason is that each of the networks prides itself on being a reliable source of news and current events. Neither of them wants to be seen as dropping the ball by carrying sit-coms or reality shows while others are providing something "important" like the debate.

Every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States and every 13 minutes a woman dies from the disease.  These are the kind of statistics the Susan G. Komen 'Race for the Cure' is trying to change. You can help this effort by joining KWCH at the 'Race for the Cure' on Saturday, September 29 th at Towne East Square.  For the second year, KWCH is the television media sponsor for the race. KWCH's very own Cindy Klose and Jenn Bates will emcee the event.  Other Eyewitness news reporters, anchors, and meteorologists will also be at the race.

Beginning this weekend, on Sundays when KWCH 12 airs a NFL doubleheader in the afternoon, all primetime shows will start a half-hour later. This means "60 Minutes" will begin at no sooner than 6:30 p.m., "Big Brother" (through Sept. 23) and "The Amazing Race" at 7:30, "The Good Wife" at 8:30 and "The Mentalist" at 9:30. Eyewitness News Weekend will start no earlier than 10:30 p.m. The goal of the change is to make sure each program airs in its entirety and that people recording them on their DVR won't have their show cut off. CBS is also upgrading its Eye-lert system to include text messages and social media alerts in addition to e-mails letting viewers know of late start times on Sundays.
