NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
630 PM CDT TUE SEP 9 2025
FORECAST IS BASED ON IGNITION TIME OF 1100 CDT ON SEPTEMBER 10.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.
PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE AT 1-800-762-4363, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS WITH THIS FORECAST.
DISCUSSION
GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AS A DRY AIR MASS
REMAINS IN PLACE. SUSTAINED WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE LIGHT OUT OF
THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY MORNING, SHIFTING TO SOUTHWESTERLY AT 5-10
MPH AFTER 9 AM. WHILE THE GRIDDED FORECAST BELOW SHOWS SPEEDS AT
3-5 MPH, OBSERVATIONS RECENTLY HAVE OVERACHIEVED THIS A BIT, SO
EXPECT UP TO 5-10 MPH WINDS WITH VERY INTERMITTENT MAXIMUM GUSTS
UP TO 15 MPH.
THERE IS SOME QUESTION ON INTRODUCING RAIN CHANCES. THE NEAR-
SURFACE AIR IS PRETTY DRY, HOWEVER, A STUBBORN REMNANT SYSTEM HAS
BEEN SITTING OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI THE PAST FEW DAYS, WHICH HAS
BROUGHT UNEXPECTED SHOWERS TO THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE. IF
THIS SYSTEM TRANSLATES EASTWARD, SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS WOULD
BECOME POSSIBLE IN AND AROUND THE AREA WEDNESDAY (LESS THAN 15%
CHANCES RIGHT NOW).
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY IS EXPECTED TO BE QUITE DRY WITH THE
CURRENT FORECAST CALLING FOR VALUES IN THE 25-30% RANGE
WEDNESDAY. SOME SHORT-TERM GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A 30% CHANCE OF
LOCALIZED POCKETS SEEING VALUES IN THE 20-25% RANGE, ESPECIALLY
AROUND THE PRESCRIBED AREA WHICH HAS A SLIGHT SOUTHEAST ASPECT.
THIS WOULD HAVE A GREATER CHANCE IF THERE ARE LITTLE TO NO CLOUDS
WEDNESDAY.
LOOKING ONWARD, WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY LOOK TO HAVE WINDS
CALM AND VARIABLE, WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND CONTINUED MINRH
VALUES IN THE 25-35% RANGE AS A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TRAVERSE
THE REGION.
AN UPDATE TO THE SPOT FORECAST WILL BE SENT EARLY THIS MORNING
WITH ANY SIGNIFICANT UPDATES INCLUDING PRECIPITATION CHANCES, WIND
SPEEDS, AND MOISTURE.
