We will have a very active weather pattern over the next couple of days.
Our forecast calls for scattered showers and storms late this afternoon and this evening with a high of 87. Then, scattered showers and thunderstorms tonight with a low of 71.
Meanwhile, there is a chance of an isolated strong to severe storm tonight. The National Weather Service in St. Louis says another round of thunderstorms is expected to develop this afternoon through early this evening. Isolated strong to severe storms are possible between 2 PM. and 8 PM, mainly along and south of I-44 in Missouri and I-70 in Illinois. The primary threat is damaging winds up to 60 mph. It looks like the strong to severe storms may stay just to our south.
Also, remnants of Beryl are set to hit the area and bring heavy rains on Tuesday and Tuesday night. The NWS says there’s increasing confidence that Beryl’s track will result in impacts to portions of southeast Missouri and southwest/south-central Illinois. Wide swath of 2 to 4 inches with locally higher amounts possible, mainly along and south of I-44 in Missouri and I-70 in Illinois. This increases the potential for heavy rainfall, which may lead to flash flooding and rising river levels. There is still uncertainty in Beryl’s exact track. If Beryl tracks further south, the potential for heavy rain and flooding in our area decreases. If it moves further north, more of the area may experience heavy rainfall.
