ST. LOUIS — Rain has been falling across the St. Louis area overnight and will continue for the pre-dawn hours of Friday. Most of the showers should wrap up around sunrise and most of the day is mostly cloudy and not as hot. In fact, yesterday at St. Louis Lambert, the high temperature was 88, Friday will be closer to 77.
Another fast moving system could slide in on Saturday with showers or a quick storm possible in the afternoon and evening. Because of the low risk for severe weather, a Weather Alert Day has been issued by the Weather First Team. Another chance of rain is possible Sunday evening and overnight.
The wet pattern continues into next week with more rain and thunderstorm chances into Monday and Tuesday. Severe thunderstorm chances look to increase early next week. Through the end of the week, rain chances remain, as temperatures remain above average. By next weekend, we may catch a break from the wet weather with temperatures closer to seasonal averages.
