St. Louis is starting Friday with clear skies, mid 60s, and the kind of humidity you notice as soon as you step outside. Skies turn mostly cloudy this afternoon, with a high near 82°F, before scattered showers and a few thunderstorms move in Friday night, May 29. There are no watches or warnings in effect this morning, but a few storms could still briefly mess with evening plans.
Evening Rain Chance and Commute Impacts
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are most likely after sunset and into the overnight hours, with tonight’s chance of precipitation near 40% and a low around 66°F. East winds stay light at about 2 to 8 mph, but pockets of heavier rain could cut visibility on area roads and slow late evening travel. If you are heading out tonight, check radar and give yourself a little extra time, according to the National Weather Service Saint Louis.
Weekend Outlook
Saturday is expected to be partly sunny with a high near 81°F and only a slight, roughly 30%, chance of afternoon showers. Saturday night carries similar odds for a passing shower. Sunday’s high climbs to around 83°F, and the chance for showers increases Sunday night into Monday. Showers and thunderstorms are likely Monday morning, with a warm high near 87°F. These timing and probability estimates come from the National Weather Service Saint Louis.
Plan Ahead
If you have outdoor plans this evening or over the weekend, you might want to shift them a bit earlier or line up an indoor backup. A light rain jacket and a radar app on your phone are smart bets, since brief heavy downpours are the main concern rather than widespread severe weather. For the latest updates and any potential airport impacts, keep an eye on local forecasts and the NWS page throughout the day.
