ST. LOUIS — A powerful storm system is expected to sweep through the region late Friday, bringing the potential for damaging winds, large hail, and even isolated tornadoes. While the threat remains uncertain due to limited moisture and weak instability, forecasters are keeping a close eye on evolving conditions.
Above-normal temperatures will continue into the weekend, with highs possibly topping 80 degrees Friday — the warmest since October 30, 2024.
A much weaker system passes to the south late tonight and could bring a spot shower or thundershower overnight. This is expected to have little impact.
Key timing details:
- Wednesday night: slight chance for a late shower or thundershower
- Friday, 5 p.m. to midnight: window for possible severe storms
- Friday evening: Storm Runner deployment possible for field coverage
Storm intensity is still uncertain, but residents should monitor forecasts closely as the end of the week approaches.
