The National Weather Service in St. Louis has issued their latest report, indicating that residents should expect a turn towards cooler temperatures as November advances. According to the forecast, the city will experience overcast conditions with a high near 47 degrees today, and a shift towards clearer skies with temperatures gently rising over the upcoming weekend. As St. Louisans brace for the change, here's what to anticipate, based on the latest from the NWS.
Currently, the city is under a blanket of cloud cover, the thermometer reading a cool 42 degrees Fahrenheit. Alongside this, a northwestern wind is blowing at a pace of 7 miles per hour, having the real feel of temperatures hover around 38 degrees once the wind chill factor is considered. Tonight, the clouds should give way to a partly cloudy firmament with temperatures expected to dip to the freezing mark.
The NWS promises mostly sunny skies by Saturday, with highs of 53 degrees, while Sunday will be even warmer, reaching up to 64 degrees. However, there's a twist in the story come Sunday night when the chance of rain increases to 30 percent after midnight, an indication that the week may start on a wet note.
Monday may see occasional rainfall with a 30 percent chance of precipitation, mainly before noon. But the skies clear up by Monday night, with a low around 30 degrees setting the stage for a crisp morning. Despite the chill, the following days carry the promise of respite with mostly sunny days leading up until Wednesday when the probability of rain ascends to 50 percent. The likelihood of rain persists through Thanksgiving with chances pegged at 50 percent, according to the NWS forecast. Thanksgiving celebrants might want to keep an umbrella handy, with mostly cloudy skies and highs hovering near 43 degrees.
