Today is May 1, 2026, and Springfield is bracing for some wet weather. If you’ve been enjoying the sunshine, you might want to prepare for a shift in the forecast. Tonight, we’re looking at mostly cloudy skies with occasional showers. Temperatures will hover in the mid to upper 60s, so keep an umbrella handy if you’re heading out.
As we head into tomorrow (Friday), expect widespread showers and thunderstorms to roll in. The high temperatures will reach the mid to upper 70s, but don’t let the heat fool you. There’s a possibility of locally heavy rainfall and some strong thunderstorms, so it’s a good idea to stay tuned to the weather updates. According to WJHG, Friday evening into Saturday will bring several rounds of rain and storms, accompanied by significant rainfall, frequent lightning, and gusty winds.
What to Expect This Weekend
The forecast doesn’t look to ease up just yet. There’s a very slight chance for isolated strong to severe thunderstorms, with expected rainfall amounts reaching 1-2 inches or more by Saturday evening. But don’t worry, the rain will taper off by Saturday night, paving the way for cooler and drier conditions starting Sunday and lasting into early next week.
Sunday through Tuesday, we can expect high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s, while the lows will drop to the upper 40s to low 50s. It’s a great time to break out the sweaters and enjoy the crisp air!
