ST. LOUIS — Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue into the evening. While there is thunder at times, severe weather is not expected through the evening hours. The upper-level system is moving slowly through the region. It will move away from our area overnight allowing for rain chances to come to an end by early Wednesday.
Under some of the heavier showers and storms, there will be places that will receive upwards of another inch or more of rain. Rainfall was quite variable with this system through Tuesday afternoon. From very little to isolated amounts of two to five inches where downpours persisted.
After a break on Wednesday, more showers and thunderstorm chances ramp up for Thursday into Friday.
By the weekend, the rain chances return to very low chances. Mainly dry weather is expected for Saturday and Sunday, with temperatures in the 80s for daytime highs.
Our wet and stormy pattern continues with more rain chances into next week as well. There appears to be a better chance of stronger storms next week, although the timing of any severe weather threat is still to be determined.
