BEAUTIFUL DAY TODAY, SHOWER
CHANCES THIS
WEEKEND --
WHAT A DIFFERENCE TWO DAYS
MAKES!
TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL TOP OFF
IN THE UPPER 80'S WITH MORE
PLEASANT AND LESS HUMID
CONDITIONS! A DRIER AIR MASS
WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER IN FROM
THE NORTH, KEEPING SHOWER
CHANCES
AND DEWPOINTS LOW! WE WILL ALSO
SEE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, AN
OVERALL GREAT DAY AHEAD.
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT TEMPERATURES
WILL DROP INTO THE MIDDLE AND
UPPER 60'S UNDER MOSTLY
STARRY SKIES.
THURSDAY, WE'LL HAVE A FEW
CLOUDS DURING THE
DAY. THIS WILL HELP KEEP
TEMPERATURES BELOW AVERAGE, IN
THE UPPER 80'S. WE'LL STAY
MOSTLY
DRY THROUGH THE DAY. A SHOWER OR
TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT,
ESPECIALLY NORTH AND WEST OF
SPRINGFIELD. THE DRIER AIRMASS
WILL KEEP SHOWER CHANCES LOW
THROUGH THE REST OF THE
OZARKS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DROP
INTO THE LOWER 70'S.
A FRONT WILL WOBBLE IN THE
OZARKS FRIDAY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND, KEEPING
SHOWER CHANCES EACH DAY.
FRIDAY, TEMPERATURES WILL TOP
OFF IN THE
LOWER 90'S WITH SHOWER CHANCES
DURING THE DAY. NOT EVERYONE
WILL SEE RAIN AND THE DAY WILL
NOT
BE A WASHOUT, JUST SOMETHING TO
KEEP AN EYE AS YOU HEAD OUT THE
DOOR. A STORM OR TWO
COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND
HEAVY RAINFALL. WINDS WILL ALSO
BE BREEZY OUT
OF THE SOUTH BETWEEN 10-20 MPH.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DROP INTO
THE LOWER 70'S.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY,
TEMPERATURES WILL TOP
OFF IN THE UPPER 80'S AND LOWER
90'S WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS EACH DAY. OVERNIGHT
LOWS WILL DROP INTO THE LOWER
70'S.
BY MONDAY INTO THE WEEK, A
SUMMERTIME
RIDGE, OR AREA OF HOT AND HUMID
CONDITIONS, WILL MOVE BACK INTO
THE OZARKS, KEEPING US WARM
AND SUNNY.
