ST. LOUIS — A band of showers and thunderstorms continues to weaken as it slowly migrates east early Wednesday morning. We’re expecting a lot of dry time later today. Temperatures are running well above normal in the 70s for afternoon highs. We’ll watch some shower activity try to spark east of the Mississippi River this afternoon.
This warm trend continues through Thursday before another cold front dives south. Before that, the advancement of an area of low pressure will spark the potential for showers and thunderstorms very late tonight. The severe weather will be confined to northwest Missouri. Isolated showers and a few thunderstorms remain in the forecast for Thursday late morning and early afternoon before the development of stronger storms picks up Thursday evening. If and when storms strengthen, we’ll keep an eye out for all modes of severe weather.
This activity ends by early Friday morning, making for a dry and decent St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Another cold front drops through the region Saturday into Sunday, and while it is a dry front, we will see temperatures fall back into the 40s and 50s Sunday-Tuesday.
