Forecast discussion
- A nice stretch of weather ahead of us. Some cool nights.
- Warmer today.
- A few showers and thunderstorms across mainly southeast Missouri and southern Illinois from Friday into Monday morning. Those chances will increase across the entire region from Monday into Tuesday night.
- It is still too early to know if severe weather will be a concern, but I am monitoring Tuesday.

What is the primary weather concern today and tonight?
No weather concerns through Thursday night.
.
Here are the early morning current conditions. These are the 4 AM readings.
.
A quiet weather pattern continues across the area. No significant weather concerns through Thursday night.
A few showers and thunderstorms are possible Friday into Sunday. Mainly west of the Mississippi River and north of the Ohio River. See the graphics below.
Don’t expect much, and many areas will simply remain dry.
It will be quite warm from Wednesday into next week. Above-average temperatures. The eighties will return to the forecast.
A stronger system will approach the region early next week. That should increase the probability of showers and thunderstorms.
There are some signals for stronger thunderstorms on Tuesday, but this is still several days out. Monitor updated forecasts.
For now, let’s just enjoy the quiet weather!
Here are the expected rain totals from Friday through early Monday morning.
Keep in mind, this will shift eastward as we move through Monday and Tuesday. Perhaps Wednesday, as well (depending on the speed of the front).

What is the % chance of rain? A lot of the chances are for southeast Missouri and southern Illinois (through Sunday, at least). Then, chances begin to increase across the rest of the region as we move into Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
