WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
444 PM CDT SAT MAY 23 2009
A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE REMAINED OVER THE AREA TODAY...BUT
DID LITTLE TO STOP THE RICH GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE FROM EDGING US
FROM THE SOUTH. AFTER A BOUT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS THAT AFFECTED
AREAS MAINLY TO THE SOUTH OF ST LOUIS THIS MORNING...THIS RICH
MOISTURE AT THE LOW LEVELS AND ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS ALOFT
HELPED TO FIRE OFF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE HEATING OF
THE DAY. A FEW LOCALIZED AREAS IN THE EASTERN OZARKS OF
SOUTHEASTERN MISSOURI WERE ESTIMATED TO HAVE RECEIVED A COUPLE
INCHES OF RAINFALL OVER A SHORT TIME AND MAY HAVE RESULTED IN SOME
MINOR FLOODING.
OTHERWISE...SKIES WERE MOSTLY CLOUDY TODAY FOR AREAS SOUTH AND
EAST OF ST LOUIS...WHILE IT WAS PARTLY CLOUDY OR MOSTLY SUNNY
ELSEWHERE. TEMPERATURES ROSE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S FOR AREAS
GENERALLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70 IN THE BI-STATE REGION...AND INTO
THE 75 TO 80 DEGREE RANGE SOUTH DUE THE CLOUDS AND EXPANDED
COVERAGE OF RAIN.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST THROUGH TONIGHT
FOR AREAS SOUTH OF ST LOUIS...WHILE ACROSS THE METRO AREA AND
AREAS TO THE NORTH...THEY ARE EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE WITHIN A
COUPLE HOURS OF SUNSET. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE FROM 60
TO 65.
MORE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY
AND MEMORIAL DAY AS ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS BECOME EVEN MORE
FAVORABLE. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 70S TO NEAR 80 EACH
DAY.
