Springfield, MO – A damp chill blankets the Ozarks this morning as patchy fog and light drizzle blur windshields and streetlights across Springfield. The early hours feel gray and heavy — but the gloom will lift slowly through the day, setting up a calmer, sunnier pattern as the new week unfolds.
According to the National Weather Service in Springfield, a slight drizzle chance continues through midmorning, followed by mostly cloudy skies and a high near 43°F. Visibility may dip under a mile in spots early, especially near Interstate 44 and U.S. 65, so drivers should allow extra time and use low-beam headlights.
By Monday, skies clear and temperatures climb toward the mid-40s with a light north breeze. Tuesday brings the week’s warmest stretch, with sunshine and highs pushing into the mid-50s before another mild-to-cool transition by Wednesday.
Forecasters note that no major storms are expected in southern Missouri through midweek, though long-range outlooks show a colder Arctic front by Dec. 11–13 across the Midwest. That system could pull cooler air back into the Ozarks with a few rain-to-snow chances north of I-44.
