The weather in St. Louis is looking pleasant for Thursday, with sunny skies and temperatures ranging from the low to mid 70s. However, there is a cold front expected to move in early Friday, bringing along some scattered showers and the possibility of thunderstorms overnight into Friday morning. This is more likely to happen along and north of I-70.
The rainfall amounts are expected to be light, with less than a quarter of an inch predicted. The speed at which the cold front moves will affect the temperatures in the afternoon, but St. Louis is expected to stay warm enough ahead of the front on Friday, with temperatures reaching the mid to upper 70s. On the other hand, the northern counties may experience temperatures in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
As we head into the weekend, temperatures will cool down slightly, with highs in the mid-60s expected each day. Looking ahead to next week, a significant warm-up is forecasted, with afternoon highs expected to be 15-20 degrees above normal. Additionally, Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be quite windy.
This transition from comfortable fall weather to a brief period of rain and cooler temperatures before a significant warm-up next week indicates the typical variability of autumn weather in the St. Louis region. It’s always a good idea to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts to be prepared for any changes that may come our way.
