Forecast

Wood River has a humid continental climate, with four clear seasons. Weather can change quickly because warm, moist air moves north from the Gulf of Mexico, while cold, dry air moves south from Canada. Storm systems often travel across the Great Plains and the Mississippi Valley.

Air pressure affects the weather from day to day. High pressure usually brings calmer, drier, and clearer weather. Low pressure often brings clouds, rain, strong winds, or thunderstorms. Cold and warm fronts can pass through the area during any season, causing quick changes in temperature.

Wood River lies near the Mississippi River in a mostly flat area. The river and nearby lowlands add moisture to the air, while the open land allows winds and storm systems to move easily. The area’s location near the center of the United States also lets both northern cold air and southern warm air reach it.

Summers are usually hot and humid, with frequent thunderstorms. Winters are cold, but snowfall can vary from year to year. Spring is often rainy and stormy, while fall usually brings cooler air and drier, more comfortable days. Temperatures and rainfall can change sharply between seasons.
