Springfield, Missouri — A slow-moving upper-level system is set to bring several rounds of showers and thunderstorms to the Ozarks beginning Wednesday night and continuing through Friday night, according to the National Weather Service in Springfield.
Forecasters expect storms to become widespread late Wednesday, persisting through Thursday and Friday as moisture continues to stream into the region. While severe weather is not the primary concern, heavy rainfall accompanying many of the storms could lead to localized flooding, especially in locations that experience repeated downpours.
Rainfall Outlook
- Most areas: 1 to 1.5 inches of rain
- Localized pockets: 2 to 3 inches possible
- Heaviest totals currently favored along and south of I-44
The NWS advises anyone with outdoor plans to remain weather aware, as conditions may change quickly during periods of heavy rain.
With multiple rounds of storms expected, forecasters say rainfall timing and localized flooding potential will continue to be refined through midweek.
