St. Louis residents can anticipate a chilly end of November, according to the latest weather update from the National Weather Service in St. Louis. Present conditions boast partly cloudy skies with a temperature sitting at 25°F. The humidity level is currently pegged at 69%, and St. Louisans are managing through winds blowing west at 20 mph, with gusts reaching as high as 29 mph. As locals wrap themselves in scarves and coats, the wind chill makes it feel more like 11°F.
As per the NWS detailed forecast, today will remain partly sunny with highs creeping nearly to 27°F. The winds, presently aggressive, are to gradually drop to a range between 9 and 16 mph. Tonight's forecast is signaling to prepare for more overcast skies, with temperatures expected to only marginally rise above today's highs, peaking to merely touch 22°F. This marks a continuation of the brisk atmosphere that seems to stubbornly cling to the city.
Looking ahead to Monday, the weather takes a wintry turn with a 50% chance of snow after noon. The overcast weather will accompany highs getting close to 31°F with a calm eastern breeze that is forecast to settle later in the day. When night falls on Monday, snow will likely be a more prominent feature, especially before midnight, accumulating to 1-2 inches. Despite the odds stacked against a clear night, the snow's anticipated curtain call brings certainty of a white blanket covering local streets and homes.
An 80% chance of precipitation means residents should ready themselves to not just face, but also to navigate through a fresh layer of frosty fluff. Following the snowy interlude, Tuesday presents a more gentle face of winter; skies will be partly sunny as temperatures soar back near the 31°F mark. Calm winds will remain as the day progresses, only to be chilled by nightfall, with lows dropping to around 21°F. This pattern of cold snaps wrapped in short-lived thaws appears set to mark the rhythm of the coming days in the Gateway City.
St. Louisans can expect the mercury to climb slightly midweek, with Wednesday showcasing partly sunny conditions and highs around a more bearable 40°F. But the respite is brief, as temperatures look to fall dramatically into Wednesday night, hitting lows of around 17°F. The latter part of the week alludes to a mixed bag of weather, with another chance of snow on Thursday night and sporadic chances of rain and snow flurries as the weekend approaches, according to the NWS forecast.
