Tomorrow, rain chances will decrease, especially before 11 a.m., after which clouds are likely to clear, allowing for sunnier skies and temperatures peaking near 60°F before cooling later in the day.
Looking ahead to tomorrow night, the skies are expected to clear significantly, with temperatures dropping to a low of around 35°F. The rest of the week appears to bring a mix of sunny spells and potential rain showers. Tuesday’s forecast promises sunshine with a high near 52°F, but by Tuesday evening, rain is likely to return with a 70% chance of precipitation. As reported by NWS, a hazardous weather outlook is not anticipated for the St. Louis region, though there is a marginal chance of thunderstorms, primarily in the southern parts of Missouri and Illinois.
As the week progresses, the chance of rain dwindles to a meager 20 percent before noon on Wednesday, giving way to partially sunny conditions and highs balancing out around 48 degrees.
