The Meramec River in St. Louis is currently experiencing flooding, with the river cresting and expected to fall in Pacific, Eureka, and Valley Park on Friday. Fenton will see its crest later in the day. Despite the flooding, Friday will be another dry day with clear skies and some fog in the morning, followed by increasing clouds throughout the day. Temperatures will reach the low 60s, making it a comfortable day to be outdoors.
As we head into Saturday, wake up temperatures will be in the upper 40s. However, by daybreak, a new storm will be arriving, bringing rain and possibly some storms throughout the day. Showers are expected to linger into Saturday night, but the rainfall is not anticipated to be as heavy as earlier in the week. Fortunately, this rainfall is not expected to worsen the current flooding situation along the Meramec River.
By early Sunday morning, the rain showers will move out of the area, and skies will begin to clear. This will provide a much-needed break from the wet weather and allow for any cleanup efforts to take place. It’s important to stay updated on the weather forecast and any potential flood warnings, especially if you live in areas prone to flooding.
Remember to stay safe and be prepared for any changes in weather conditions. Keep an eye on local news sources for updates and advisories. Stay informed, stay dry, and stay safe as we navigate through this rainy weekend ahead.
