    SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - As for all the rain we saw this spring in the Ozarks, calling it a good or bad thing depends on who you ask. After a drier-than-normal March from 1 to over 3 inches of rain for the Ozarks, April and May were gushers. Many saw nearly a foot of rain in April, with another 5 to 12 inches in May. That did not bode well for Curtis Millsap and his Greene County vegetable farm. “We’re going to bear a lot of soil,” Millsap said.

    Good Sunday evening, everyone. After some widely scattered showers and some t-storms very early this morning, everyone enjoyed a dry day with highs back either near 80° or into the lower 80s this afternoon. Let’s enjoy a quiet Monday before our next cold front approaches on Tuesday. After fair skies and a few possible areas of patchy fog overnight with lows in the lower 60s, highs will soar into the middle 80s under partly to mostly sunny skies for your Monday afternoon.

    Good Saturday evening, everyone. After a quiet day with highs back in the upper 70s to almost 80°, we have our next upper-level wave coming out of Nebraska to give some of you a chance for some showers and storms during the overnight hours. Those chances for storms tonight will start between the 9 to 11 PM timeframe and continue off and on until sunrise Sunday morning.

    Good Friday afternoon, everyone. After some areas of fog this morning, we burned that away and will enjoy fair skies for the rest of the day. While high pressure at the surface is in control, there’s one upper-level wave near Montana and southern Canada that wants to come into play late on Saturday.

    GALENA, Mo. (KY3) - Areas from Stockton Lake to Springfield to Bull Shoals saw an estimated 5 to 10 inches of rain over the holiday weekend. Rain that ran into the James River and made the trip down to Galena and other parts of Stone County. That’s not a surprise to Thomas Martin, the director of Stone County Emergency Management. “James River tends to flood, especially when we get a lot of rain here and they get a lot of rain up north,” Martin says.
