ST. LOUIS – After a cooler, wet Sunday, Monday will bring a fast warm-up with breezy conditions. High temperatures will soar into the 80s.
Ahead of a cold front early Tuesday morning, scattered thunderstorms will drop in from the north. Some morning storms may be strong to severe, bringing large hail and damaging winds. There is also a low threat of a tornado or two, so we’ll watch things closely. These storms would impact the region during the morning commute.
Additional thunderstorms will develop along and south of I-70 in MO and IL through the day on Tuesday. Again, damaging winds and hail will be the main threats, especially south of metro St. Louis. High temperatures will reach the mid-70s Tuesday with the storms.
The middle of the week stays wet and stormy, with a focus on Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning for some additional heavy rain. Between Tuesday and Thursday, up to 2 inches of rainfall is expected. Cooler and drier Friday and Saturday.
