Rain is set to return to St. Louis on Friday and will likely linger through Saturday, potentially affecting travel along major roadways, including I-44 and I-70. Forecasters warn that commuters and travelers should plan for wet conditions and possible delays.
According to the National Weather Service, the rain chances are linked to the merging of an upper-level low with the remnants of Tropical Storm Helene. This system could bring rain amounts that remain uncertain, with precipitation expected to linger into Sunday night.
Motorists traveling along I-44, particularly south of the interstate, should exercise caution as rain chances range from 60-80%. River fog is also expected to develop late Wednesday evening and last into Thursday morning, further reducing visibility for drivers. Residents should stay informed by checking local weather updates and avoiding flooded roads.
