Missouri – Rain taps steadily on windshields across St. Louis this morning, with slick pavement and reduced visibility already slowing traffic along I-64 and I-44. Puddles are forming in low spots, and gusty winds are adding to the messy start. If you’re heading out, expect delays and plan extra time.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, widespread showers continue through the morning with an 80% chance of precipitation and breezy north winds gusting near 28 mph. A few embedded thunderstorms may develop later, with a low-end risk for small hail in stronger cells.
Conditions begin improving by midday as rain tapers and clouds break. Roads will gradually dry, but early travel remains slick, especially on ramps and bridges. Keep headlights on and allow extra stopping distance.
Saturday delivers a clean turnaround. Sunshine returns with highs near 56°F and lighter winds, making for a much more comfortable day. Sunday continues the warming trend, pushing temperatures close to 69°F under partly sunny skies.
By Monday, a surge of warmer air sends highs soaring to around 84°F, bringing a strong taste of spring. However, that warmth also sets the stage for the next system. Showers and thunderstorms return Monday night and continue into midweek, with periods of heavier rain possible.
Looking ahead, a more active pattern settles in through Wednesday, with repeated chances for rain and storms across eastern Missouri and southwest Illinois.
