Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
557 AM CDT Tue Oct 28 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Cool, rainy, and blustery conditions today and Wednesday.
  Northwest wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph, with the strongest
  winds along and west of Highway 65. Rainfall amounts around
  0.5-1.0 inch for most areas, with localized amounts of 1.5-2
  inches.

- Monitoring frost/freeze potential Thursday through Sunday

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 230 AM CDT Tue Oct 28 2025

This Morning:
A strong upper-level trough is digging south into the central
CONUS this morning. This trough will feature a closed low as it
progresses into the Middle Mississippi Valley on Wednesday.
Cool, rainy, and blustery conditions will accompany this system
over the next 36 to 48 hours.

Ahead of the trough and closed low, an area of intermittent
drizzle continues to persist across portions of the area. This
is a result of sufficient omega and upsloping along the
Plateau in the vicinity of low-level moisture. This area of
intermittent drizzle will gradually dissipate through the
morning ahead of the main system.

Rest of Today-Wednesday:
The approaching trough will strengthen into the Middle
Mississippi Valley later today, with strong forcing along the
associated frontal passage. Moisture streams into the area, with
PWATs around one inch. This combination of lift and moisture
will support widespread showers (80-100%) developing across our
west by mid to late morning. This activity will gradually
overspread the area from west to east by the early afternoon.
Initially, the precipitation will encounter some mid- level dry
air, but the column becomes saturated through the afternoon.
Meanwhile, the potential for isolated thunderstorms in far
southern MO remains low (10-20%) given the lack of instability.
Rainfall chances persist into tonight, and through Wednesday
morning. Rain chances slowly diminish through Wednesday
morning/afternoon from west to east as the trough shifts the low
east of the region. Overall, this rainfall will remain
beneficial to area with ongoing drought conditions. Rainfall
amounts are expected to be highest along and east of Highway 65.
The latest HREF guidance suggest widespread amounts approaching
0.5 to 1.0 inch, with localized amounts approaching 1.5-2
inches. No flooding is expected with this system.

In addition to widespread rain chances, this system will feature
strong wind gusts as the pressure gradient tightens up. Wind
gusts increase through the late afternoon and evening behind the
frontal passage, with northwest winds gust upwards of 25 to 35
mph through tonight. Winds strengthen further into Wednesday
morning, approaching 30 to 40 mph, with the strongest gusts
focused west of Highway 65. Of particular note, a few wind gusts
may approach 40 to 45 mph along the Interstate 49 corridor. The
NBM depicts 20-40% probabilities for wind gusts exceeding 40
mph in this area. Elsewhere, breezy northwest winds of 25 to 30
mph can be expected through Wednesday morning. Confidence
remains low in the need for wind headlines (wind gusts > 45 mph)
at this time. However, it is worth noting that the combination
of rainy and gusty conditions will make for dreary and chilly
conditions with highs only in the lower 50s on Wednesday.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 230 AM CDT Tue Oct 28 2025

Thursday-Monday:
Behind the frontal passage, cold morning's are on the horizon
through late week and this weekend. This will support increasing
chances for frost, and perhaps even a freeze in some areas.
Overnight lows in the 30s are expected across much of the area,
beginning Thursday morning. The Eastern Ozarks will be the most
vulnerable to frost later this week and into the weekend,
especially in valleys where temperatures cool the most
efficiently. At this time, the NBM is highlighting the coldest
morning on Sunday. Confidence is not high enough in exact
temperatures to send headlines at this time due to the normal
predictability limitations, but we will continue to monitor
through future forecast cycles. Highs remain below normal
through the weekend, with daily highs in the middle/upper 50s to
around 60. This is around 5 to 7 degrees below normal for late
October into early November. Meanwhile, drier conditions look to
accompany the northwest flow pattern through the weekend,
outside of low chances (10-15%) with a series of weak frontal
passages.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 600 AM CDT Tue Oct 28 2025

A system moves into the area today with showers and gusty winds
overspreading the area through the afternoon. Widespread rain
showers increase in coverage through the late morning into the
early afternoon, with IFR ceilings around 700 feet in addition
to reduced visibilities around 2 to 4 miles. Rain chances
persist through tonight into Wednesday morning, with some breaks
in the rain from time to time. Winds remain east- southeast
ahead of the system, before turning out of the west- northwest
in the late afternoon. Wind gusts of 20 to 25 knots through the
evening, increasing to 25 to 30 knots late in the TAF period.
