For those of you in St. Louis betting on yet another unpredictable spring week, it seems the odds are in your favor for variety. According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, the weather forecast promises a symphony of sun, winds, and a scatter of showers leading us into the weekend. Brisk breezes are expected to ruffle the city's feathers today, with winds hustling from the south, peaking at gusts as high as 32 mph.
Today's high could reach a warm 79 degrees, but tonight will cool down to 59 with partly cloudy skies. Winds will shift from south to west after midnight, with gusts up to 23 mph, as per the NWS forecast.
Monday looks to play coy with a 20 percent chance of precipitation, teasing with a mere chance of sprinkles before 10 am, before potentially opening up to slight showers until early afternoon. Keep your umbrellas at arm's reach – especially with those gusts pegged at a staunch 23 mph.
As we cast our eyes toward Tuesday, the NWS forecasts a dash of clarity with sunny skies and a respectable high of 64 degrees. However, stay vigilant for those northwest winds that are expected to lash at around 13 to 15 mph, and gustiness that might have hats flying off at 28 mph. Night owls can expect the clouds to disperse, leaving a clear night and a dip in temperature to around 43 degrees.
Midweek predictions hint at a showery interruption, as there's a 20 percent chance of showers post-lunchtime on Wednesday. These turn into even odds by the evening, setting the stage for a 50 percent chance of needing to dodge raindrops. Despite the upcoming drizzle, Thursday ushers in partial sunshine with a high creeping up to 73, and, well, you guessed it – potential for more showers and thunderstorms.
Those planning their weekend outfits might want to opt for layers and waterproofs. Friday's outlook teases us with a warm 83 degrees but dampens the enthusiasm with another 40 percent likelihood of showers and thunderstorms. And as we roll into Saturday, the weather seems to sigh into a partly sunny state with a high of 67 degrees, accompanied by a continuing 30 percent chance of thunderstorms, as forecasted by the NWS.
