St. Louis is waking up to fog and mist Sunday, but the gray start will give way to bright sunshine and an afternoon high near 89 degrees. A much hotter stretch follows, with temperatures climbing to around 95 on Monday and 91 on Tuesday before storms and a sharp late-week cooldown move in.
Fog Clears For A Sunny, Hot Sunday
Visibility was reduced near the Mississippi River early Sunday, where light winds and damp air may briefly affect nearby roads. The fog should fade after sunrise, leaving sunny skies, light southwest winds and no rain expected through the afternoon.
The National Weather Service in St. Louis expects near-record warmth through Tuesday. Monday's high near 95 could challenge daily records, while Monday night stays unusually mild with a low around 72.
Storm Chances Build Tuesday Night
Tuesday should remain sunny and hot, with a high near 91, but the weather turns more unsettled after 7 p.m. Showers and thunderstorms are possible Tuesday night, with additional chances through Thursday.
Showers and thunderstorms remain likely Thursday, when skies will be mostly cloudy and the high should reach only about 79 degrees. The active pattern could bring wet commutes and disrupted outdoor plans, although the exact timing and rainfall amounts may shift.
Cooler, Drier Weather Arrives Friday
A stronger cold front is expected to push through late week. Friday brings a high near 86, followed by a chilly low near 39 Friday night.
Saturday looks cooler, with highs in the 50s or 60s. No watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed for the region.
