St. Louis, MO – Thunderstorms are set to return to the St. Louis area tonight, bringing the potential for locally heavy rainfall. It’s been a while since the region has experienced significant rain, but this weather system could change that as storm chances increase through Monday morning.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in St. Louis, the best opportunity for rain will occur late Sunday night into Monday morning. While not everyone in the area will see rain, those who do could experience heavy downpours, with rainfall totals exceeding 1 inch in some spots. The storms are expected to continue throughout the week, with additional rounds possible.
Residents are advised to stay weather-aware as these storms could bring localized flooding in areas that receive heavy rain. Motorists should also exercise caution, as sudden downpours could reduce visibility and create hazardous driving conditions. The National Weather Service suggests monitoring local forecasts for updates and being prepared for changing weather conditions.
