St. Louis, Missouri – Scattered thunderstorms will linger across Missouri through Thursday evening, prompting localized downpours and possible travel delays before calm, dry weather returns overnight.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, early morning storms will exit the area by late morning, followed by a temporary lull in activity. By early afternoon, additional thunderstorms are expected to redevelop along a passing cold front. While the storms are not expected to be severe, brief heavy rain and isolated lightning may impact portions of eastern and central Missouri.
St. Louis, Columbia, and Jefferson City could see isolated showers by 1 p.m., with precipitation tapering off after sunset. I-70 travelers should watch for brief low visibility and wet roadways during the afternoon commute. No flood or severe thunderstorm warnings have been issued.
