St. Louis is waking up to mostly cloudy skies Wednesday, November 4, with temperatures in the upper 50s and a blustery west wind setting the tone for the day. A little drizzle could still show up before noon, but the bigger story is the sharp change from the recent mild stretch to a cooler, wind-whipped forecast.
Drizzle Fades As Winds Keep Wednesday Cool
The chance of drizzle is about 12% through late morning, with wet roads possible in a few spots before conditions turn mostly cloudy. The high should reach near 60 degrees, while west winds of 7 to 12 mph and occasional gusts of 15 to 25 mph make it feel chillier than the thermometer suggests, according to the National Weather Service.
There are no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the St. Louis area. The latest outlook is a meaningful update from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which focused on the wetter storm system moving through the region earlier this week.
Sunshine Returns Thursday Before A Weekend Chill
Thursday, November 5, looks much brighter, with sunny skies and a high near 65 degrees before temperatures ease back during the afternoon. Friday turns partly sunny and cooler, topping out near 58, followed by a low around 38 Friday night.
Saturday should be mostly sunny with a high near 56, but nighttime temperatures will drop to about 37 degrees. Sheltered, low-lying locations around the broader region could dip to freezing or below if skies clear and winds stay calm, even though the downtown St. Louis forecast remains in the upper 30s.
Next Week Brings A Noticeable Warmup
Sunday starts a gradual rebound, with sunshine and a high near 61 degrees. Monday should reach about 66, and Tuesday could climb near 69 under mostly sunny skies, giving St. Louis a brief return to mild fall weather after the weekend jacket test.
