Springfield, Missouri – An active weather pattern is expected to move into Missouri early next week, bringing widespread chances for showers and thunderstorms across the Mid-South region starting Tuesday and continuing through Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Springfield, confidence is rising in storm development between June 3 and June 6, with rain and thunderstorm chances ranging from 50% to 80%. While exact timing and storm locations are still uncertain, forecasters warn of potential localized flooding and the risk of severe weather, including strong winds and hail.
Cities along the I-44 corridor—including Springfield, Rolla, and Lebanon—should prepare for periods of heavy rainfall and rapidly changing travel conditions. The system, fueled by moisture surging north from the Gulf, could impact commutes and outdoor events throughout the workweek.
Residents are urged to monitor forecasts closely and remain weather aware. Secure loose outdoor items, clear storm drains, and have multiple ways to receive weather alerts.
The storm threat will begin easing late Friday, but additional advisories may be issued as confidence in storm tracks improves. More detailed updates are expected over the weekend.
