We didn’t have any 70s on Wednesday, but temperatures were still 5° to 10° warmer than normal. The warm winter pattern won’t let up anytime soon.
Today will become mostly cloudy, especially in Central Missouri. A few sprinkles are possible today as well, but most spts stay completely dry. Temperatures will range from the mid-50s in Central Missouri to possibly the low 60s in Northwest Arkansas, where more sunshine is expected.
Daytime clouds will clear away tonight, and another wave of clouds will build through the day on Friday. Friday is expected to stay dry with mild temperatures in the mid-60s. Rain chances climb Friday night into Saturday as our next storm system arrives.
A soggy Saturday is coming our way this weekend. Outdoor events this weekend will be wet, and Valentine’s Day plans may need to be adjusted if you planned on being outside. Rain is likely for most of the day, from sunup to sundown.
A few rumbles of thunder are possible on Saturday, but no severe weather. Rain amounts will be nice with most spots picking up between 1″ and 2″. Rain amounts will tend to taper off northeastward across Central Missouri. Springfield is currently in more than a 2″ rainfall deficit since the start of 2026, and this storm will make good progress in closing the gap.
Clouds and fog will linger into Sunday morning before clearing out by late morning. The afternoon looks bright with temperatures climbing into the upper 50s and low 60s.
A warmer and windier pattern is in store for the first half of next week. Temperatures will soar during the Monday to Wednesday period, with some areas hitting 70° all three days. Record highs are possible…
