Goat on the run after church break-in

6 days ago | yahoo.com | Jamie Warriner

Well, here’s a weird story that you don’t see every day. A church in Texas is having to clean up after a goat break-in. An administrative assistant from the First Baptist Church Mixon in Tyler, Texas, reported that a goat saw its own reflection in the glass door, which only aggravated it, prompting it to ram the door.

Thursday, May 8 forecast: Showers exit in time for a marvelous Mother’s Day

6 days ago | ozarksfirst.com | Jamie Warriner

Morning clouds gave way to pleasant temperatures, and a mix of sun and clouds. Spotty showers likely made a few run for cover, but outside of the rain it was really nice outside. The spotty showers will linger into the evening before we get on the other side of this showery system. Clouds will clear later tonight, but may try to fill back in with some low cloudiness as temperatures fall into the 50s. Early clouds on Friday will give way to a mix of sun and clouds.

Tuesday, May 6 forecast: Slow moving storm to soak some areas

1 week ago | ozarksfirst.com | Jamie Warriner

Clouds and showers arrived late in the day, marking the beginning of a two-day stretch of showery weather. The wetter pattern is compliments of a slow-moving storm that will swirl through the region over the next several days. For tonight, the first batch of light rain has arrived, but will likely fade after sunset. Additional scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to fill in where the early evening round leaves off and continue on and off through morning.
Monday, May 5 forecast: Another showery stretch, but looking good for Mother’s Day

1 week ago | ozarksfirst.com | Jamie Warriner

A May cool snap continues across the region thanks to a cut-off low over the Ohio Valley. The chill did relax some with afternoon highs in most places Monday back up around 70°. Overall, though, the pattern has a mild look throughout this week with another showery stretch on the table. The quiet pattern recently will continue into Tuesday as we find ourselves between storm systems. Temperatures will go from chilly early in the day to comfortably mild during the afternoon.
Thursday, May 1 forecast: Cut-off storm to sling clouds and cool temperatures our way

1 week ago | ozarksfirst.com | Jamie Warriner

April 2025 topped the charts as being the wettest April on record in Springfield, with 13.29″ of rainfall. This beats the previous record of 12.15″ from April 1945. April 2025 also ranks in the top 10 wettest months ever, placing at number 6. And, while not a record breaker at other reporting sites, it was still one of the wettest Aprils on record across the Ozarks. The good news is that rain chances are easing as we move into the weekend. For tonight, we’ll find a mostly dry evening.

Springfield measured 1.77″ of rainfall on Tuesday and another 0.80″ on Wednesday, bringing the monthly total to 13.14″- a new record! April 2025 may go down in the books as the 7th wettest month ever recorded in Springfield (the numbers are still preliminary). Storms on Tuesday left behind a swath of tree and powerline damage as winds of up to 90 MPH blew through Southern Missouri. 2 tornadoes were also confirmed from Tuesday’s storms. An EF-0 near Nixa and an EF-1 near Verona.
Tuesday, April 29 forecast: More waves of storms coming, potentially severe

Storms blew through quickly this morning, generating widespread wind damage and power outages. There’s even been two tornadoes confirmed, near Aurora and Nixa. More waves of storms are on the way. A wave of showers this evening will be followed by another wave of rain and thunderstorms after midnight. There will be a limited risk of severe weather with that wave, especially closer to the I-49 corridor (Joplin south through Ft. Smith) where a bit more instability may try to sneak north.
