Tonight's outlook suggests mostly cloudy conditions with lows hovering around 68 degrees, and somewhat breezy southeast winds. As we head into Thursday, isolated showers and thunderstorms are on the radar after 1 pm with temperatures soaring near 92 degrees. With the wind picking up, reaching 15 mph and gusts possibly up to 25 mph, a hazard may loom on an otherwise typical sunny day in the Midwest.

The Hazardous Weather Outlook stresses that there's a chance of thunderstorms from Thursday through Friday night, then again from Sunday through Tuesday. There's also a talk of a more severe weather threat on Thursday evening particularly across southeastern Missouri and southwestern Illinois with Friday potentially bringing more severe conditions across a broader area. "All severe hazards are possible," the forecast warns, outlining that the threat extends to numerous counties across both Missouri and Illinois.

Despite the forecast for inclement weather, there is no expectation for storm spotter activation at this time. The Hazardous Weather Outlook for the region stresses the importance of being aware of the possibility of severe weather conditions, reminding the residents that strong storms can arise rapidly and to stay vigilant. Meanwhile, St. Louis locals and visitors should keep an eye on the skies and maybe keep an umbrella close, for at least the next several days.
