HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE-
Today is going to be the worst day of the weekend with highs in the 70s but increasing cloudiness and showers through the day today. Thunderstorms are also likely to fire up in the overnight hours tonight as a cold front moves through our region, but fortunately it will clear us to the southeast by tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, as a whole, looks pretty good with clearing skies, but it will also be quite chilly...so that is the trade-off we have to make. Beyond that, Sunday looks warmer, and much of next week looks to be near to slightly below average temperature wise with a heavy rain event on Tuesday being the only blip on the radar.
Today in weather history- April 22, 2011- An EF-4 tornado strikes the Lambert International Airport in St. Louis, causing severe damage to the airport- even sending concourse C's roof flying away. Somehow...only 5 people are injured and none are killed. Having been to this airport, I suspect there must have been sufficient warning for everyone to go into the bathrooms, which are designated as tornado shelters in case of just such an event...it seems strange, but such a setup is not unusual in the midwest.
