Springfield, Missouri – Daily chances of thunderstorms and rising humidity are expected to linger across the Missouri Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas through Wednesday, prompting weather officials to caution residents about localized downpours and travel disruptions.
According to the National Weather Service in Springfield, morning fog and scattered showers will impact western areas on Sunday, followed by a 20–50% chance of thunderstorms each day through midweek. Highs will range from the low 80s to near 90°F, while overnight lows will settle in the mid-60s to low 70s.
Branson, Joplin, and West Plains could see hit-or-miss storms during the afternoon and evening hours, especially on Tuesday, when rainfall chances peak at 40–50%. Slick roads and low visibility from fog may slow morning commuters. While not every area will see storms daily, those that do could experience brief downpours and lightning.
Residents are advised to avoid flooded roads and monitor forecasts for updated alerts. With no major cold front in sight, muggy conditions will persist, increasing the risk of heat-related fatigue during outdoor work or events.
Storm chances continue through Wednesday, with daily updates expected from the NWS as conditions evolve.
