SoCal native traveling to MO on business.

Hi, kids. I'm a little embarassed to say that I haven't been out of the Southwestern United States since I was a little kid in the 60's. So I'm kinda spoiled by warm dry weather.

So I need to humbly ask: What's the weather like in Springfield in the middle of September?

How do I dress and what do I bring so that I don't walk out of the airport going "Aw, shit!"???

1. Nice early fall weather hopefully...

if so, bring a nice jacket and a coat for after the sun goes down. A raincoat with a removable flannel lining, an umbrella, headscarves, and/or a hat would be advisable. Sweaters are good all purpose garb. BUT, we have had some of our WORST heatwaves in September, I'm a native Missourian so, yes, I know whereof I speak! Don't think it's going to happen this year as this summer has been abnormally cool.

2. OTOH, it could be swelteringly humid, and THEN turn damp and cool the

next day.......

Welcome back. Regards,

3. Well, I'm heading out Sunday morning...

...and returning here to LAX late Tuesday night.

757 to Texas, and something quite a bit smaller from Texas to Springfield.

Looks like umbrella and light rain-type jacket. The intertubes forecast 65 to 70+ degrees with thunderstorms Friday and Saturday, showers Sunday, sunny Monday and Tuesday, and more thunderstorms starting Wednesday, so I guess I'll be lucky (if that holds up, of course.)

The thing that bothers me is, is there really such a thing as 81% humidity? (I'm learning to appreciate the southwest desert more and more, and I haven't even left yet...lol.)
