SUMMARY: Today will be rainy with off-and-on showers and a chance of thunderstorms, while breezy conditions may create gusts up to 20 mph. Temperatures will remain seasonable in the upper 50s, reaching a high of 60 degrees. The rain is part of a larger system moving from Louisiana to Minnesota. For outdoor activities, be cautious of thunder. Tonight, showers will gradually end with a low of 53 degrees. Looking ahead, Veterans Day will feature sunny weather and temperatures around 67 degrees, before a few showers return on Wednesday. Overall, today is our only wet day this week.

Most of the smaller rivers, that had flooding problems, have now started to fall. The Meramec River is expected to fall below flood stages by Sunday night, even with the additional rain Saturday. The Mississippi and Missouri Rivers remain well within the banks as both have been running low and can handle the amount of rain flowing into them since last weekend.

Our Saturday will be on the rainy side. Showers will pick up for the afternoon. There will be a few isolated storms too. Most areas will see less than a half an inch of rain. There is a chance a few areas may get under a couple of heavier showers, but the amounts are not expected to prolong any river flooding.

By Sunday morning, the rain will be moving away from our region and any clouds will move out during the morning. Sunday is the pick day of the weekend with highs well into the 60s.

SUMMARY: In Missouri, House Speaker Jon Patterson announced plans to challenge Amendment 3, which recently protected reproductive rights. Following a celebration by supporters, lawmakers filed legislation aimed at making Missouri more pro-life, acknowledging that a complete repeal of the amendment is unlikely. As discussions unfold, both sides are mobilizing: Abortion Action MO emphasizes the need for vigilance, while Gov. Mike Kehoe supports constitutional measures to protect life. The state’s abortion services remain limited, pending a court ruling. Kehoe plans to detail his priorities regarding abortion in his upcoming State of the State Address.
