The National Weather Service in St. Louis is forecasting a mixed bag of conditions for the region, with chances of showers and thunderstorms rolling in later this afternoon. According to the National Weather Service latest update, we're looking at a 20 percent chance of precipitation after 4pm today, under mostly cloudy skies. A calm wind turning southeast at a clip of 5 to 7 mph can be expected as the day progresses. Temperatures are aiming for a high near 88 degrees, so it could get fairly toasty out there.
Tonight, the clouds are sticking around, as are the mild conditions with a low teetering around 66 degrees. That southeast wind will simmer down to a calm state by evening. For those looking ahead, Monday's forecast is leaning towards mostly sunny with a high again near 88, but only a slight breeze from the east at 3 to 7 mph. It's typical September weather in the Midwest - humid, unpredictable, and fluctuating like a mood ring on a teenager's finger, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Come nightfall on Monday, expect a mostly clear sky and a low that's dipping to about 63 degrees. The light east wind will hardly rustle the leaves. The following days, through Saturday, are slated to follow a sunny script, with daytime highs kissing the high 80s and lows keeping within the comfortable 60s bracket. Major outliers in the weather patterns seem to be taking a hiatus this week, promising a semblance of consistency rarely afforded by Mother Nature's whims, as stated by the National Weather Service.
The weather forecast is mostly steady, but there might be some scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. It's not severe, so no need to panic. The chance of thunderstorms continues into Monday in some areas, but it's unlikely. If you're going outside, it might be a good idea to keep an umbrella handy just in case. The weather looks great for the week ahead with clear skies and starry nights. There are no severe weather alerts, so outdoor plans should go smoothly. Just be aware of a small chance of rain today and possibly Monday. Enjoy the early autumn weather in the Midwest, and keep an eye on local forecasts for any changes.
