Springfield, MO — A significant cool-down is heading toward Missouri this weekend, with temperatures expected to dip into the 40s by Sunday morning. According to the National Weather Service in Springfield, dry air and cooler conditions will dominate much of the state, with some areas possibly seeing upper 30s in low-lying regions of the eastern Ozarks.
Forecast models suggest that the Rolla and Vichy areas could break their previous record low of 45°F on Sunday morning. Daytime highs will remain in the low to mid-70s on Saturday and Sunday. This cooler air mass will offer a refreshing break from recent summer heat.
By Monday, temperatures will begin to rise, reaching highs of 79 to 85 degrees, with continued sunshine. Tuesday and Wednesday are forecasted to be warmer, with highs climbing into the mid to upper 80s. The warming trend is expected to persist through mid-week, with only a slight chance of rain (10-20%) returning by late next week in southern Missouri.
