Springfield, MO – Residents across Springfield and Greene County are seeing unseasonably warm conditions Saturday, with highs climbing near 91°, before a sharp weather shift arrives late Sunday.
According to the US National Weather Service in Springfield, a cold front is expected to move through the area Sunday afternoon into the evening, bringing noticeably cooler air behind it. While Sunday will still start warm, temperatures are forecast to fall quickly after the front passes.
By Monday, highs are expected to drop into the upper 50s to mid-60s, with overnight lows dipping into the 40s. The abrupt change marks a temperature swing of more than 30 degrees in less than 24 hours, a shift that could catch some residents off guard.
The cooler pattern will be short-lived. By Tuesday, temperatures begin climbing again into the 60s and low 70s, followed by a strong warmup midweek. Highs are projected to reach the upper 70s to mid-80s Wednesday, with some areas nearing 90° again by Thursday.
No significant severe weather or widespread rainfall is expected with this system, but the rapid temperature changes could impact outdoor plans and travel comfort across the Springfield metro area and surrounding Ozarks region.
Residents are encouraged to dress in layers and prepare for quickly changing conditions, especially Sunday afternoon into Monday morning.
