St. Louis residents should keep their umbrellas close and their schedules flexible this week as the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts a series of scattered showers and thunderstorms with varying chances of precipitation through Monday; the most immediate concern is the 30 percent likelihood of rain today, particularly after 10 a.m. The NWS reports a patchy fog dispersing before 9 a.m., making way for a cloudy day with a comfortable high near 73, while your evening commute should stay relatively dry, with isolated showers and thunderstorms wrapping up before 9 p.m., and tonight's low dipping to around 58.
As we inch further into the week, the forecast suggests a blend of sun and clouds but keeps a steady thread of rain possibilities in the tapestry of our routines, Tomorrow's weather offers a partly sunny sky and a pleasant high of 76 with calm winds, then Thursday's narrative changes, introducing a raised 50 percent chance of rain and players like the northeastern winds between 5 to 9 mph, pressing those probabilities further to a 70 percent likelihood of showers and possible thunderstorms for your Thursday night.
The climate plot thickens into the weekend, as the mercury hovers consistently around the mid-70s during the daylight hours with showers likely, mainly after 1 p.m. on Saturday, the chance of precipitation standing firm at 60 percent, while evening plans might be dampened slightly with a 50 percent chance of showers stretching into a mostly cloudy night around 64 degrees, prepare for more of the same on Sunday with those odds lingering at 50 percent for showers and storms, and a similar story unfolds for Monday, albeit with a reduced 30 percent chance of showers under partly sunny skies.
Peering further into the next week, it's prudent to note the Hazardous Weather Outlook issued by the NWS, while presently it lays dormant, it emphasizes an ongoing chance of thunderstorms from Thursday through Sunday.
