A storm moving from the southern plains will bring rain to St. Louis on Monday. The rain will start in the morning, ease up between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., and then pick up again in the afternoon with the arrival of a cold front. This means both the morning and evening commutes will be wet, so be prepared for some rain and possible thunderstorms.
In addition to the rain, winds will become gusty in the afternoon, reaching speeds of up to 30 mph. Despite the rain and wind, temperatures will be relatively mild, with highs in the upper 60s.
After the rain moves out overnight, skies will clear and temperatures will drop into the 50s on Tuesday. Tuesday will be another mild day, with highs in the mid-60s. However, colder air will move in Tuesday night and into Wednesday, bringing gusty winds and much cooler temperatures. Highs on Wednesday will only reach around 50 F, and Thursday morning will start off in the 30s.
The colder temperatures will stick around from Thursday through Saturday, so be prepared for a noticeable drop in temperature. There is a slight chance of a few showers early on Wednesday, particularly in Illinois, but the main focus will be on the colder temperatures and windy conditions.
Overall, it looks like a wet start to the week with mild temperatures, followed by a midweek cool down with gusty winds and much cooler temperatures. Be sure to bundle up and stay dry as you navigate the changing weather conditions in the coming days.
