Rainfall Through Saturday AM
We are finally in for some rain in the Ozarks later this week! Portions of the Ozarks are classified as being in a moderate drought.
The chances come in the form of scattered showers and storms over the next few days, fueled by and increase in humidity and the subsequent unstable air.
Later in the week, a front will drop closer to and eventually move through the Ozarks. This should boost the rain amount and coverage somewhat.
We have had a dry spell of weather. Springfield has seen 1.53″ of rain in August, down 1.70″ when compared to normal. We have as of today gone 15 days without measureable rain.
But Springfield and areas to the north are faring better than areas along the Misosuri/Arkansas border which are classified as excessively dry. Oregon County is actually in moderate drought along with Washington County AR.
The forecast is for the heaviest rains to fall on average away from the driest areas. Still, much of the area could pick up an inch of rain before the cool front shuts things down by Friday.
