Approaching or breaking record lows tonight

Canadian high pressure sends the coolest air of the summer our way tonight and early tomorrow morning. It will be cold enough for an early frost across parts of the Great Lakes region. We will not get that cold, but cold enough to break a few records.

Enough moisture may be present that Springfield just misses getting down to record cold levels tonight. It will be a close call for records to be reached in Rolla and West Plains. Joplin stands the best chance of beating the old record low of 55 degrees. Record or not, it's going to be cold tonight and you definitely won't need air conditioning on! Open up your windows and save a little money. :)

Late week clouds & shower chances

A disturbance that's currently located across the Pacific northwest will slip southward and remain stagnant across the central Plains from Wednesday through Saturday. The Ozarks will experience a split in weather conditions from west to east. The best chance for rain and cloud cover will be from highway 65 and points westward and the driest and sunniest conditions will be across the eastern Ozarks. Temperatures are forecast to remain below normal through next weekend.
