ST. LOUIS — We finally hit 90 degrees for the first time in St. Louis this year. That's pretty close to being on schedule, historically. This trend continues through Tuesday. While Monday will be close to 90 degrees, clouds and an isolated shower or storm may ultimately keep us from the number for a second consecutive day. Tuesday we are expected to be near a record high in the low 90s. (The record high for Tuesday is 93)
Our primary focus is on Tuesday night and Wednesday. That's when our next front arrives and gives us an opportunity for severe weather. These are our next Storm Alert Days. The timing of Tuesday's severe weather will be much later, perhaps late evening and the overnight. As this line of storms weakens a bit, we will still monitor it for a wind threat, small hail, and brief spin-up tornado.
By Wednesday, the front continues to move southeast. As it lingers in some parts of our area, chances for severe storms may still linger in portions of our area.
The unsettled pattern lingers through the Memorial Day weekend with shower and thunderstorms from time to time.
