Springfield, Mo. – Showers and thunderstorms will remain a daily concern through Wednesday across much of Missouri, bringing the highest rain chances along and north of Interstate 44. Periods of heavy rain could cause localized flooding in areas that see repeated storms, especially in low-lying spots and near creeks.
According to the National Weather Service in Springfield, the heaviest activity is likely during the afternoon and evening hours today, with rain chances tapering slightly later in the week. While all-day washouts are unlikely, these storms could still disrupt outdoor events and slow commutes.
Cities such as Springfield, Rolla, and Lebanon may see brief but intense downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning. Drivers on I-44 should watch for ponding on roads, particularly in construction zones where drainage may be limited. Residents are advised to keep phones charged, avoid flooded roads, and move indoors at the first sign of thunder.
Rain chances will drop toward the end of the workweek, but isolated storms remain possible into Friday. More widespread activity could return by the weekend depending on shifting weather patterns.
