Springfield, MO – Below-average temperatures will continue across Missouri through Monday, with overnight lows dropping into the teens and low 20s before a significant warmup arrives next week.
According to the US National Weather Service in Springfield, temperatures tonight will fall between 18 and 24 degrees under mostly clear skies. Sunday will remain sunny but cold, with afternoon highs ranging from 34 to 44 degrees across southwest Missouri, including Greene County and the greater Springfield metro area.
Monday morning will bring another round of chilly lows, dipping between 12 and 18 degrees in some areas. Afternoon highs Monday are expected to reach 35 to 45 degrees, still well below the seasonal normal high of 47 to 51 degrees for late February.
A noticeable shift begins Tuesday. High temperatures are forecast to surge into the upper 50s and low 60s statewide, with partly cloudy skies. By Wednesday, many communities could see highs between 61 and 71 degrees — nearly 20 degrees above average for this time of year.
The cold stretch may create slick spots during early morning commutes where residual moisture exists, especially on bridges and overpasses. Drivers across southwest Missouri, including Christian, Webster, and surrounding counties, should allow extra travel time during the coldest hours.
The warming trend is expected to hold through midweek, offering a brief preview of spring-like conditions.
