St. Louis, MO – Residents across Missouri should prepare for unsettled weather conditions through midweek, with showers and thunderstorms expected to bring periods of heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and lightning.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, storms will remain a daily possibility from Sunday evening through Wednesday morning. While much of the rain will be beneficial for the region, forecasters caution that stronger storms may produce brief heavy downpours, wind gusts, and occasional lightning.
Rainfall totals will vary widely, with the heaviest precipitation expected in southern Missouri. Forecast maps show between 2 to 3 inches of rain possible in counties south of St. Louis, while areas further north toward Hannibal and Quincy may see less than an inch. The uneven distribution means some areas could face localized flooding while others remain relatively dry.
The unsettled pattern could affect commuters, outdoor events, and early fall harvest activities across the state. Travelers are urged to monitor local forecasts and use caution on wet roads, especially during peak travel times.
The weather service will continue to provide updates as new storm systems develop. Residents are encouraged to stay weather-aware and prepare for changing conditions through midweek.
