Despite a cold front, Wednesday was still very warm along and south of Highway 60. That cold front will reverse into a warm front today and again raise temperatures. Record highs will be challenged in Springfield and Joplin with Joplin likely getting close to 90°!

While some did see stray showers this morning, our next best chance for rain arrives tonight for parts of the Ozarks. Another cold front will dash into the area from the northwest with a band of scattered showers and thunderstorms. The chances of rain will fade quickly as the cold front nears I-44. However, parts of West-Central Missouri could wind up with 0.25″ to 0.50″ of rainfall in isolated pockets. Take what you can get!
Fall air will lock in for a couple of days behind Friday’s front. This will make for a bright and mild weekend with chilly nights and mild afternoons.
Monday begins warm and windy as a stronger storm system develops to our west positioning the jetstream near the Ozarks. Temperatures will be back to the 80s with south winds gusting over 30 mph at times. This will also be the case on Tuesday and Wednesday.
