San Francisco may enjoy its own unique climate, but St. Louis' weather is showing its typical Midwestern variability. As of early this morning, the National Weather Service in St. Louis has reported mostly cloudy skies and a temperature sitting at 35°F. Those venturing outside early might have noticed the chilling humidity - a dripping 100 percent - while Northwest winds move at a light 3 mph.
The city woke up to a frost advisory that remained firmly in effect until 7 AM CST today. "Temperatures as low as 32 will result in frost formation," warned the NWS in its latest issuance. For those not yet done so, the Frost Advisory is clear: "Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold." Throughout the day, residents can expect to shed layers as the forecast promises sun and a high near 55, with the wind remaining light and variable. But tonight, the clear skies will allow temperatures to drop again, settling around 38.
Looking to the week ahead, Monday's forecast is to remain sunny, harboring a balmy high near 64, a slight uptick from the chill of the weekend. "No hazardous weather is expected at this time," according to the recent Hazardous Weather Outlook by NWS St. Louis. As Monday night approaches, the partly cloudy sky will usher in a low of around 42, with winds continuing to stay light and variable.
The general trend carries a message of calm; Tuesday and Wednesday are forecast to be mostly sunny with highs nearing the 70s, while the nights are predicted to remain mostly clear. A slight diversion occurs Thursday night, where there's a 30 percent chance of rain past midnight, and the outlook for next Saturday includes a 20 percent chance of rain, as per the NWS forecast.
