Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Eastern/Central MO and Southwest IL
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
659 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are possible between
today and Sunday with active weather continuing into early next week.
The best potential for thunderstorms and heavier rainfall will be with
stronger thunderstorms embedded in the broader field of precipitation
that develops and moves northeast out of the Plains this afternoon.
Southerly winds will become gusty with peak winds nearing 30-35 mph
at times. Heavy rainfall in and around thunderstorms could lead to
localized flash flooding. Rainfall totals of 1-3 inches are possible
through Monday with locally higher amounts possible in and near locations
affected by repeated rounds of thunderstorms (central/northeast MO).
