SEVERE STORMS OUTLOOK

There is a chance for severe storms on Sunday into Monday across the northwest and southwest portion of the viewing area, including Springfield. A frontal boundary sets up across Missouri and stretches southwestward back into central Oklahoma. Gulf moisture will increase ahead of it, which is one ingredient needed for severe storms.

WARMTH EXPANDS EAST


The last time it reached 80 degrees in Springfield was on March 6. This will be the warmest air we've experienced yet this spring and the longest period with temperatures above 75 degrees.
