6-10 Day Temperature Outlook
The long term outlook for the middle of August is encouraging with respect to cooler temperatures!
Several changes in the jet stream pattern will lead to more cool air being delivered to the northcentral and northeastern U.S. There is a good chance that the Ozarks will get in on this cooler condition!
This is well-deserved for us. We have had several long stretches of hot weather this summer and we are in the midst of a mini heat wave right now. June ranked sixth overall hottest on record for Springfield. We have had now 34 days of highs ninety or higher including two 99 and a one-hundred degree day last week.
Relief this time of year comes in the form of distrubances in the jet stream which can coax cooler air from Canada into the U.S. Last summer, the overall pattern was stuck in this mode. This summer, we have been lucky enough to have these cool fronts visit every once in a while.
