Delightful Day

 


Wow! What better way to describe today!  Temperatures warmed from the mid 60s to the low 70s across the Ozarks.  Tonight will be very mild with lows expected in the 40s.  Unfortunately a cold front on Thursday will bring this first round of warmth to an end.

 

Short Cold Spell

 

The cold front will arrive in Springfield during the mid to late morning Thursday.  Temperatures will warm pretty quickly with highs being reached by midday.  Northwest winds will kick in and temperatures will drop during the mid to late afternoon.  Friday will be quite cool with readings some 20 degrees colder than today.  The good news is that the cold weather will quickly depart this weekend allowing temperatures to recover to the 50s.  a second cold snp is possible next week along with some light rain.

 
 


 

Sunny Skies,

Want to be a Weather Watcher?

We need YOU.  If you like to track the weather in your own backyard, on the farm or as part of a regular school exercise, we'd like you to join CoCoRaHS!  CoCoRaHS is the Community Collaborative Rain Hail and Snow network and tracks the weather in all 50 states.

It's free and easy to use on the web.  We simply ask that you get a standardized rain 4-inch diameter rain gauge and report your daily rain or snow every morning, even if it's dry.  And best of all, you'll have a reliable history of your own weather online.  Better still, you're helping weather researchers, scientists and the National Weather Service and River Forecast Offices understand how much rain really fell in the Ozarks... and to which watershed it's headed.

Sign up today!  If you have questions, drop the Storm Team a note or call anytime.
