ST. LOUIS — Thursday's Weather Alert has ended as any threat for severe weather or excessive rainfall has come to an end. While a few showers and thunderstorms did develop around the area Thursday afternoon, the most widespread activity was just south and southeast of the 5 On Your Side viewing area.
There may still be a few showers percolating across the area through the overnight hours, but none will be strong.
More energy with this weather pattern will move by to our southeast on Friday. While a few showers with some rumble are possible, any rain is expected to be scattered and not linger for long.
Temperatures will soar this weekend with added humidity, making it feel very much like summertime in St. Louis. There remains a slight chance of an isolated shower or storm Saturday once temperatures climb above 80. Sunday should be mostly sunny.
Our warm pattern lingers into next week with highs in the 80s, perhaps close to 90 early in the week. Another chance of storms will arrive on Tuesday. Severe weather chances will also increase at this point.
The warm and potentially unsettled pattern may linger in part of the Memorial Day weekend.
