Springfield, MO – Residents can expect rainy conditions and possible thunderstorms starting Thursday and lasting through Saturday morning. Weather officials caution that saturated soils may lead to localized flooding, particularly across southern Missouri.
According to the National Weather Service in Springfield, rainfall chances are between 50-90% during this period, peaking Thursday night. While temperatures will stay above freezing, holiday travelers are urged to plan for slick roads and reduced visibility in areas of patchy fog, particularly near rivers and valleys south of Interstate 44.
Rainfall amounts remain uncertain, but forecasters emphasize the potential for flooding in low-lying areas. The combination of rain from Christmas Day and additional storms could worsen conditions. Drivers should use caution and low-beam headlights in foggy areas.
The weather is expected to improve by Sunday, with diminishing cloud cover and warming temperatures into the weekend. However, those planning outdoor activities should stay updated on changing forecasts.
