Record setting 20 inches of rain to end spring
Over the past two months, the Ozarks have received more than 20 inches of rain, driven by relentless waves of severe weather. 2025 dethroned an 80-year-old record for the wettest April and May combined. This made me curious about the record for any two months. So I dove into the record books to find out. I found these two months rank as the third-wettest on record for Springfield. Date Total Precipitation 1958 – June & July 23.81″ 1945 – March & April 21.01″ 2025 – April & May 20.86″ 1943 – May & June 20.85″ This recent stretch of heavy rainfall trails only the summer deluge of 1958 and the spring storms of 1945. What makes this especially noteworthy is the frequency and intensity of the storms, many of which brought tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail along with the rain. Missouri is tied for top spot in tornado count by state with a shocking 105 so far this year.

As we head into June, as most locals know, we will slowly transition away from the stormier pattern into calmer and warmer conditions. This year will be no exception, especially once we get into the middle of the month. Regardless, April and May of 2025 have already secured their place in the weather history books.

Tuesday, April 8 forecast: A full week of spring
It's another cold morning with spots around the Ozarks starting the day below freezing. Like yesterday, the cold will fade away and we'll find a beautiful afternoon with temperatures in the 60s and sun-filled skies. Download our KOLR 10 weather app Temperatures will easily avoid freezing tonight, dipping down into the mid-40s. When will we put freezing temperatures away for good? Chief Meteorologist Jamie Warriner explains more. The weather pattern has done a full one-eighty compared to last week. No significant weather is expected through Sunday. However, there will be a moisture-starved storm moving through the region Wednesday and Thursday. A weak cold front on Wednesday will slide through the Ozarks and we may be able to squeak out a stray shower closer to the St. Louis area Wednesday afternoon. Thursday will offer up a better chance for some pop-up showers and isolated thunderstorms, mainly east of Hwy. 65 during the heat of the afternoon. Even then, rain will be spotty with most areas remaining dry. Good news after the rain we've seen recently! We'll be slightly cooler on Friday, with clouds developing by afternoon. The weekend is shaping up to be fantastic! Saturday promises sunnier skies and warmer temperatures with highs near 80° on Sunday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
