Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:55:41 GMT

St. Louis weather from Meteorologist Angela Hutti:ST. LOUIS - An interesting set-up in the atmosphere for Tuesday as we track two time frames for storms.  Expect a partly to mostly cloudy day Tuesday, breezy, and very warm. Temperature highs will be in the low 80s. Late Tuesday afternoon, widely scattered thunderstorms are possible, primarily just north of the St. Louis region in northeast Missouri and west-central Illinois. However, a layer of very warm air higher up in the atmosphere may keep these storms from forming at all. If these storms can break that cap, the threat for them to become severe is high, with the potential for large hail and tornadoes. Then Tuesday night, a cold front pushes in from the west.
