St. Louis is starting Saturday, October 3, with clear skies and temperatures around 50 degrees, then heading toward a sunny afternoon near 75. Northeast winds around 6 mph should keep the morning crisp without making the day feel harsh.

Sunny Weekend Weather Stays Dry

Saturday night will turn partly cloudy with a low near 54, while Sunday, October 4, brings another sunny day with a high around 79. Winds will remain light, and the National Weather Service says dry, pleasant conditions should dominate the weekend.

A few protected river valleys could see brief patchy fog late Saturday night or again Sunday night, but widespread visibility problems are not expected. There are no watches, warnings or advisories for the St. Louis area.

Warmup Arrives By Midweek

Monday will be slightly cooler and sunny, with a high near 74, before temperatures begin climbing Tuesday. Forecast highs reach about 82 Wednesday, 84 Thursday and 85 Friday, with mostly clear skies and no meaningful rain chances through the workweek.

In other words, St. Louis gets a classic early-October weekend before the forecast starts acting more like late summer. The latest outlook from the National Weather Service calls for several days of sunshine and a steady warming trend.
