Some of my friends have been inquiring as to what they might expect in the way of weather for Springfield and places south of the I-44 corridor. I’ve been listening to the weather service and while we can definitely expect some rain to fall on Thursday, December 24, I think any snow that will fall will do so in the middle to northern part of Missouri. A lot will depend on the actual track of the upper low pressure system that is forecast to swing out of Oklahoma and then track quickly across the Ozarks on it way to the northeast. The map at right is the best guess right now as to what we can expect. Any snow or icy accumulation will likely occur on the backside of this system as it swings on through. So, all in all travel in our neck of the woods should not be a problem for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Happy Holidays DanO
