St. Louis is getting one more summerlike day before the forecast turns noticeably wetter. Thursday is forecast to be sunny, with a low near 59 degrees, then temperatures climb quickly under sunny skies to a high near 81 degrees.
Southwest winds will stay light at around 5 to 6 mph, and rain chances remain minimal through the afternoon. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the St. Louis area.
Warm Thursday Gives Way To A Cloudier Halloween Weekend
Friday remains mild but less sunny, with partly sunny skies and a high near 78. Saturday will be cloudy and cooler, topping out around 70, with the main rain concern arriving late Saturday night when showers have about a 50% chance of developing.
Halloween night could be a little damp for evening plans, though the forecast does not currently call for a washout. Sunday brings a chance of showers before noon, followed by mostly cloudy skies and a high near 73.
Rain Chances Build Early Next Week
The forecast becomes more unsettled Monday through Wednesday, with rain chances also appearing in the earlier Hoodline outlook for Monday and Monday night into Tuesday. Monday carries a 50% chance of showers, Tuesday raises that chance to 60%, and Wednesday could bring showers plus a few thunderstorms.
The National Weather Service says a more widespread and potentially beneficial rainfall event may develop early to midweek, although the exact timing and totals can still change. For now, Thursday is the best bet for patio weather, while Halloween plans should leave room for clouds and a possible umbrella.
