St. Louis is embracing itself for a chilly week ahead. Today's weather will see cloudy skies that will gradually clear up, with a high inching towards a frosty 25 degrees. Winds from the northwest are predicted to blow at a mild pace of 5 to 9 mph, according to National Weather Service.
Tonight's forecast shows mostly clear skies with the lows plummeting to around 7 degrees. While the wind is expected to settle down, creating a calm atmosphere in the evening, St. Louisans will still need to bundle up tight against the biting cold. The National Weather Service assures residents the gradual clearing will bring some respite from the earlier overcast conditions, but the low digits on the thermometer are a reminder that winter is far from over.
As the week progresses, Thursday promises increasing clouds with a high nearing 33 degrees with a soft south wind at 3 to 8 mph. But it is Thursday night that anticipates some action with snow likely after midnight. The National Weather Service projects a 60% chance of precipitation and possible snow accumulation of less than an inch. Heading into Friday, snow chances linger at 50 percent, mainly before noon, with skies staying predominantly cloudy and a high again near 33 degrees.
The weekend will kick off with a mostly sunny Saturday with highs circling around 32 degrees. Come nightfall, the clouds will roll back in, dropping temperatures to a low of about 22 degrees. Looking ahead, we see a partly sunny Sunday with the thermometer expected to climb slightly higher to a high near 36 degrees, while the following nights dip close to 21.
As citizens gear up for another workweek, Monday is touted to be mostly sunny with a peak temperature of around 30 degrees, and by night, the skies will turn only partly cloudy, heralding a low near 15. For those seeking more clement conditions, Tuesday seems promising, boasting abundant sunshine and a high near 26, as reported by the NWS.
