The National Weather Service says the weather will be uneventful Saturday until late at night, when we will see a chance of severe weather coming from the west.

Springfield Meteorologists expect scattered showers with some thunder and lighting in the morning Saturday.

“We are expecting something we call a cap, which a warm layer of air aloft that limits storm activity for a period of time.” Says Meteorologist Drew Albert, “It will prevent storm activity for most of the area Saturday afternoon.”

Late after midnight we could see a chance of severe weather as storms move in over the Kansas-Missouri border. The biggest threat from these storms are strong winds.

A thunderstorm complex is expected to push into the area from the northwest late tonight. Main risk will be with damaging wind, although all modes of severe weather will be possible. #mowx #kswx pic.twitter.com/fOfarJM4X9

That late night activity is projected to continue into the morning Sunday. NWS does expect a low pressure front to move through in the afternoon, with temperatures falling to the upper fifties.

Gusts on Sunday could reach 35 miles per hour.
