    SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - While our first taste of summer heat and humidity is lining up for the weekend, we had warm enough temperatures Tuesday to turn any parked car outside into a potential hazard. Around 11 a.m. Tuesday, temperatures in Springfield were in the lower 80s. One of our news car’s interior temperature sat at 78 degrees. After sitting for 12 minutes with windows up, the thermometer pushed into the lower 90s. That’s not a surprise to Luke Spain, prevention coordinator with CoxHealth.

    SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - Thanks to an upper-level low on Sunday, a swath of moderate to heavy rainfall fell across parts of the Ozarks. Although radar estimates show an average of 1.2″ for the Ozarks, up to five inches fell in Wright County. Mansfield Fire Chief Byron Clark says all that rain led to problems across the city. “We just had some pretty extreme flash flooding throughout the town in the low areas,” Clark said.

    Good Sunday evening, everyone. Thanks to our upper low moving overhead, many had to make do with highs in the upper 70s to some lower 80s today. Plus, we had to deal with clouds, showers and thunderstorms mainly producing moderate to heavy rain and leading to some flooding issues this evening. FutureCast will hold on to remaining scattered showers and non-severe thunderstorms for the rest of the night and into Monday morning for areas near and east of Highway 63.

    Good Saturday evening, everyone. Despite clouds and some rain across parts of the Ozarks earlier today, it was a warm day with highs back in the lower to middle 80s. Moving forward, there is one upper low sitting over southeast Kansas that will play a role in our forecast tonight through Monday. After a few isolated showers or storms this evening, that wave will fire off a complex of storms that will mainly stay out in Kansas and Oklahoma overnight.

    Good Friday afternoon, everyone. Our upper-level low that gave us off & on rain and t-storm chances the other day is now sitting overhead to get the weekend going. Due to that, we’ll hold on to mostly cloudy skies for the rest of today and off & on chances for showers and non-severe t-storms. Anything strong should mainly bring moderate to occasionally heavy pockets of rain. The upper-level low will depart as we head through the night and into Saturday.
