Data collection is essential to accurate forecasts. Offices like NWS Springfield release a minimum of 2 weather balloons a day (regardless of the weather) to get the latest atmospheric conditions. This information goes into weather models to set the starting conditions.





Have to give a big shout out to NWS St. Louis and NWS Springfield for their extreme diligence and constant updates during last night’s severe weather. We would not be able to be nearly as efficient on TV without their thorough messaging. A rough night for many! 🙏🏻 #midmowx
