Springfield, MO – Warm and mostly dry weather will continue across southwest Missouri through the weekend, with only minimal chances for rain early next week, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Springfield.
Forecasters said highs will remain in the low-to-mid 80s through Monday, October 6, before gradually cooling into the 70s by Wednesday and Thursday. The agency noted rain chances between 15% and 30% for Monday and Tuesday, but emphasized that “widespread rain is not expected.”
The extended forecast shows clear skies dominating most of the period, with overnight lows staying comfortable in the mid-50s to low 60s. By late next week, temperatures may dip closer to seasonal averages, with highs in the lower 70s and lows in the upper 40s.
Meteorologists said the dry pattern follows several weeks of variable early fall weather across the Ozarks, with no significant storms or cold fronts projected in the short term.
Residents planning outdoor activities this weekend can expect favorable conditions and mild evenings. NWS officials advise keeping an eye on early-week updates in case light showers develop over localized areas.
