Today in history 🗓
27 May 1896: A massive F4 tornado traveled across Saint Louis, MO and across the Mississippi River into East St. Louis, IL, killing 255 persons and causing $13 million damage; a two-by-four pine plank pierces a 5/16-inch iron sheet on the Eads Bridge.
St Louis still hasn't reached 90 yet this year. The average date of first 90 degrees is May 15, so we're already 2 weeks behind schedule. Our current forecast remains mild, but our warm up next week represents our best chance of seeing 90 for the first time in 2025.
