St. Louis Weather: Summer Heat Gives Way to Storms

Mid-April in St. Louis is currently mimicking early summer conditions, with temperatures pushing into June-like territory. However, this warm spell is short-lived as scattered thunderstorms are expected this evening and overnight.

These storms could bring pea-sized hail and wind gusts up to 45 mph, primarily affecting travel due to short, intense bursts of rain. The immediate concern is not prolonged flooding but the potential for brief travel disruptions from these convective cells.
