Not too bad of a week across the region. Temperatures ran a little cool at times but not too far off the mark for April. And it looks like a big spring surge is on the way this weekend. The weekend forecast looks ideal for outdoor activities like camping and warm enough on Sunday to spend some time on the water. The surface high that delivered the brief cool shot Friday will slip off to the east by Saturday. Skies will remain mostly clear throughout the day, with winds not getting too out of hand.

Boy, have we been on a nice run. Bright sunshine and mild temperatures made for another beautiful spring day across the area. Clouds bubbled up a bit in the afternoon, and there were even a few showers east of Hwy. 63, but they didn’t last long, and most areas remained dry. The system that contributed to the pop-up showers will slip off to the east, with chillier air dropping south into Missouri and Arkansas by Friday.

The 2025 severe weather season is off to a roaring start, with the national tornado count already exceeding 500. That is nearly double the 15-year average to date of 275. However, Chief Meteorologist Jamie Warriner did a deeper look at past tornado seasons to find that a fast start doesn’t always mean a strong finish. Notable years for local tornado activity, like 2023, 2017, and 2012, all saw explosive numbers at the start of spring.

Springtime in the Ozarks is always a mixed bag. Just the last week alone, we witnessed tornadoes, flooding, snow flurries, and freezing temperatures. With temperatures starting to warm up from the short cold snap we just finished, people are asking the big question: Is it finally a safe time to plant? Well, it depends on what you are putting into the ground. Our average last freeze falls right around this time.

Freezing and frosty conditions greeted us again this morning. It was the second morning in a row for much of the area, but it may be the last time this season as the pattern and the calendar work against any more freezing temperatures. Temperatures will easily avoid freezing tonight, dipping down into the mid-40s. This is thanks to an increase in clouds and winds. Winds will remain gusty throughout the day Wednesday, drawing in warmer air and bringing back a warmer feel.
