St. Louis, Missouri – Thunderstorms could move across southeast Missouri by late Sunday afternoon, bringing scattered rain but no severe weather, according to the National Weather Service in St. Louis.
According to a hazardous weather outlook issued early Sunday morning, areas in southeast Missouri—including Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff—may see isolated storms develop Sunday afternoon and evening. While conditions aren’t favorable for severe weather, heavy downpours and brief lightning are possible.
The threat becomes more widespread by late Tuesday, when showers and thunderstorms are expected to return across eastern and central Missouri as well as southwest Illinois. St. Louis, Columbia, Jefferson City, and surrounding areas could see repeated rain chances through Saturday, increasing the risk of localized flooding in low-lying areas.
Residents are urged to monitor changing conditions this week, especially during evening commutes and overnight hours when rainfall may be heaviest. Those in areas prone to flash flooding should keep devices charged and avoid driving through water-covered roads.
No spotter activation is expected at this time. However, the National Weather Service will continue to monitor conditions, with updates likely as Tuesday’s system develops.
