Sunday, October 20th Forecast: When will rain arrive?

Well, another day without rain. Another day the dry streak approaches near-record levels. We have not seen measurable rainfall in Springfield since September 23. We can reset that counter back down to zero this week.

Sunny and dry to start the day on Monday with temperatures fairly similar to what we had today. Highs climb into the 80s with light winds from the south.

Monday night into Tuesday morning will be our shot at breaking this streak. A low-pressure system off to our west is expected to sling a wave of wet weather our way. Totals, however, will be very light.

I am expecting the majority of people to stay dry. For the ones lucky enough to get the rainfall, amounts will fall somewhere between a sprinkle to a shower (0.01 – 0.10″).

Sunshine dominates the skies for Tuesday as we will chase near-record highs.

Every day this week is forecasted to bring above-average temperatures. Additionally, I have no concerns about experiencing any freezing temperatures this week. Mild weather with better opportunities for rainfall will be waiting for us towards the end of the month.
