St. Louis, MO – A strong storm system is set to move into Missouri on Friday, bringing high winds and severe thunderstorms to the region. Forecasters warn that conditions could be hazardous, with gusty winds developing Friday morning and lasting into Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in St. Louis, thunderstorms will arrive Friday afternoon and evening, with some storms possibly reaching severe levels. The system is expected to bring damaging winds, heavy rain, and lightning, increasing travel risks and the potential for power outages.
Windy conditions ahead of the storms could cause loose outdoor objects to be blown around, making driving difficult, particularly for high-profile vehicles. Strong winds will persist even after the thunderstorms move through.
