Forecast

Here's the description of Joplin, Missouri's weather for a 12-year-old:

Joplin's location near the intersection of three main weather patterns - cold air from Canada, warm air from the Gulf of Mexico, and dry air from the Southwest - affects air pressure.

The city's geography, with the Ozark Mountains to the south and the Great Plains to the north, traps and directs air masses, changing air pressure.

In winter, cold air dominates, bringing low air pressure and cold weather; in summer, warm air brings high air pressure and hot weather; and in spring and fall, air pressure varies with mild temperatures.

Joplin has a humid continental climate, with air pressure varying between high in summer and low in winter, causing extreme weather changes between hot summers and cold winters.
