Friday, June 6th forecast: Additional waves of storms arriving
Yesterday's afternoon sunshine was a nice break in the pattern; unfortunately, it won't last for this weekend. Rain has returned to kick off Friday with more wet weather reinforcements arriving both Saturday and Sunday. A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for the majority of counties south of Highway 60. Flooding will be the main threat. Soils are highly saturated due to the record rainfall over the last two months, opening the door for additional flooding today. In addition to a flooding risk, we will have a low tornado risk today as a brief, spin-up tornado will be possible along and south of the state line. Thankfully, it will not rain all day. Rain will start wrapping up by the early afternoon as we finish the day with sunshine and temperatures climbing into the upper 70s. The next wave of thunderstorms is expected to arrive early Saturday morning. The setup for tomorrow's round of storms looks very similar to what we will see today. Rain, flooding, and damaging winds are expected in the morning. Calmer and drier conditions will arrive by the afternoon. Sunday will get off to a quiet start with temperatures in the 80s before, you guessed it, more rain to finish the day. A wave of thunderstorms will push through Sunday and will, thankfully, be the final wave of wet weather we have to get through. We will start drying out on Monday. A break from the spring monsoon will be coming for this work week as quiet and mostly sunny weather will persist. Download our KOLR 10 weather app Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Wednesday, June 4 forecast: Briefly drier ahead of another wave of storms Friday
Waves of heavy rain have left many areas waterlogged. This is especially true along and north of I-44, where 1 to 4″ of rain fell between Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon. Springfield saw the rain come in two bursts, one last night with another big wave early Wednesday afternoon. This rain stretched northeast into Marshfield, where rain totals over half a foot likely occurred. Download our KOLR 10 weather app Bands of showers will continue into the evening, mainly south of I-44. Rainfall rates of 1 to 2″ per hour will occur with the heavier pockets of rain, resulting in locally excessive rainfall amounts that could exceed 1 or 2″. We'll begin Thursday with cloudy skies and damp conditions, but it looks like Thursday as a whole will be drier. Morning clouds will give way to breaks in the clouds with sunshine pushing temperatures into the upper 70s and low 80s. It will be a warm and humid afternoon with spotty showers and thunderstorms possible. Most of this pop-up activity will develop south of a Harrison to Eminence line, with most locations remaining dry throughout the day. A bigger wave of rain and thunder is expected to sweep through the region Friday. This round will arrive early in the day and depart during the afternoon. Heavy rainfall is likely, and this wave of storms could also bring a round of damaging winds to some areas. The morning wave of storms should depart fast enough for some afternoon sun. Some pop-up shower or thunderstorm activity is possible heading into the early evening, but most areas will remain dry. Another big wave or rain and thunder will likely develop Friday night across Oklahoma, shifting southeast through Arkansas Saturday morning. Right now, it looks like most of this storm complex will pass just to our south. Weekend weather will feature a mix of sun and clouds with warm and humid conditions. There will be a risk of scattered showers and thunderstorms both Saturday and Sunday, especially during the afternoon and evening. A stronger cold front may clear the area Monday, bringing a risk of scattered showers, followed by less humid and quieter weather Tuesday and Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Tuesday, June 3 forecast: Turning stormy this evening, flooding possible for some
We ended a warm and humid day with spotty, strong to severe storms northeast of Springfield. A few reports of hail came in with these storms, along with gusty winds. That wave has passed, and we now turn our attention to the main event. Download our KOLR 10 weather app Storms are currently lined up along a cold front from Northern Missouri back into Oklahoma. A risk of severe weather continues with these storms, including a brief tornado or two. The line of storms will gradually build in from the west, with a diminishing risk of severe weather through late evening. Any tornado risk will be limited, primarily west of a Cassville to Waynesville line. The atmosphere is primed to produce heavy rainfall, and the slow movement of the line will likely lead to a risk of flooding. A Flood Watch remains in effect along and north of I-44 through Wednesday morning. Rainfall totals of 1 to 3″ will be common across the watch area, with locally higher amounts possible. The weakening line will lead to lighter rainfall amounts further southeast. By morning, a band of scattered showers and thunderstorms will persist near the slow-moving cold front that will still be draped just south of I-44. The front won't move much during the day with scattered showers and thunderstorms persisting throughout the day across the same general area with a slow shift to the southeast. Rain amounts won't be as heavy as Tuesday night, but a few spots could see more than an inch on Wednesday. The risk of rain will decrease Wednesday night into Thursday morning, but will flare up some during the afternoon Thursday as temperatures climb. The coverage should be widely scattered, though with many spots not picking up any rain. Thursday is shaping up to be a warm and humid day with afternoon temperatures climbing back up to near 80°. A bigger wave of rain and thunder is expected to sweep through the region Friday. This round may arrive early in the day and depart during the afternoon.
