Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Springfield, MO

SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/
Issued at 250 AM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for Benton, Morgan, Miller, and Camden counties until 9 AM for visibilities less than 1 mile. Drive with caution this morning. This is primarily due to an abundance of moisture over that area thanks to recent rainfall, clear skies, and light winds. There's a bit more cloud cover further south over southern MO that's preventing fog from becoming too dense but patchy fog is still possible.

The afternoon summertime pop-up thunderstorm pattern returns through the short term period with 30-60% chance of rain this afternoon and 30-50% chance of rain Tuesday afternoon. Models don't do well with this type of pattern, but mid-level RH values, PWATs near 1.8", and CAPE around 1100 J/kg support pulse-like thunderstorms this afternoon mainly along and south of I-44. As for tomorrow, these atmospheric conditions will be similar in the afternoon but mainly for areas east of Highway 65. Rainfall amounts are forecast to stay <0.25" and storms will likely be sub-severe.

Winds will be quite variable for the next couple of days but will remain light. Today will feature easterly winds while tomorrow will have southwesterly winds. Today will be partly cloudy with highs in the mid 80s. Tuesday will be sunnier with highs reaching the upper 80s. Daytime temperatures will be below normal for this time of year.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/
Issued at 250 AM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025

A series of shortwaves will move through the area bringing daily storm chances favoring afternoon convection as instability builds. This pattern will go through the entire long term period.

NBM QPF is generally around a quarter inch daily though high precipital water and weak flow will need to be monitored for the potential for flooding. Temperatures will slowly climb back toward normals in the lower 90s by the weekend.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/
Issued at 1228 AM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025

Patchy fog will form over the area in the next couple of hours lowering visibilities and bringing ceilings down into MVFR/IFR levels. The thicker fog will form more towards central Missouri tonight. Fog will dissipate around sunrise and VFR will return with light easterly winds.
