St. Louis gets one more mild, gray day before the weather turns notably wetter and windier. Monday starts cloudy near 57 degrees, with temperatures climbing to about 66 as southerly winds strengthen through the afternoon.
A Cloudy Monday Before The Bigger Change
Most of Monday should stay dry, though a few light showers or patches of drizzle remain possible. Winds will run 7 to 14 mph from the south, with gusts up to 23 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Clouds and breezy conditions continue Monday night, when temperatures only dip to around 64 degrees. Rain chances rise after midnight as a storm system approaches the region.
Tuesday Brings Rain, Thunderstorms And Stronger Gusts
Tuesday is the main weather concern, with rain expected overnight or early Tuesday morning and showers and thunderstorms becoming more likely through the afternoon. The forecast calls for a 90% chance of precipitation, a high near 75 degrees and south winds gusting as high as 30 mph.
The National Weather Service says strong-to-severe thunderstorms are not expected, though a few 40-to-50-mph gusts are possible Tuesday afternoon, mainly along and east of the Mississippi River. Wet roads, reduced visibility and gusty crosswinds could make the Tuesday commute a messy one.
The sharper Tuesday outlook is an update from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which flagged a wetter start to November but had less detail on the storm timing. Rain will largely end from west to east overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning, with some showers and plenty of dry time Wednesday.
Rain Eases After The Midweek System
Rain will largely end from west to east overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning, with some showers and plenty of dry time Wednesday. Thursday looks sunny and mild near 68.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for the St. Louis area.
