ST. LOUIS – Sunshine is expected to start Wednesday, then increasing clouds, with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. It will be a great day at Busch Stadium for Weather Day!
An unsettled and wet period arrives for the end of the work week and, unfortunately, for Easter weekend. It starts Wednesday evening with some spotty sprinkles. Overnight, scattered showers will develop with a more robust round of rain and some storms mid- to late Thursday morning.
The weather will be drier Thursday afternoon, with highs in the 70s and gusty winds. There will be a chance of some showers and storms well north of I-70 late Thursday night and into Friday, but most of the area will remain dry.
The cold front arrives Friday afternoon and rain chances will ramp back up. Rain and thunderstorms, some possibly strong to severe, will be here Friday evening and night.
Unfortunately, the cold front stalls to our south into Saturday and that will keep us wet through the upcoming Easter weekend. The heaviest rain looks to be on Saturday, but the pattern lingers through at least Monday morning. Rainfall totals south of I-44 (MO) and I-64 (IL) over the several days could top 3 inches.
