St. Louis Braces for Cooler Temps and Rain as Thanksgiving Approaches, NWS Reports

According to the most recent forecast from the St. Louis National Weather Service, residents should anticipate a shift toward lower temperatures as November progresses. The city is expected to see cloudy skies with a high of around 47 degrees today, followed by a change to brighter sky and a gradual increase in temperature during the weekend. Based on the most recent information from the NWS, here is what to expect as St. Louis residents prepare for the change.

The city is currently covered with clouds, and the temperature is a refreshing 42 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, a northwest wind is blowing at 7 miles per hour, and when the wind chill effect is taken into account, the actual temperature feels about 38 degrees. With temperatures predicted to drop below freezing tonight, the clouds should give way to a partly cloudy firmament.

According to the NWS, Saturday will be largely sunny with highs of 53 degrees, and Sunday will be much warmer with highs of 64 degrees. The story takes a turn on Sunday night, though, as the likelihood of rain rises to 30% after midnight, suggesting that the week might get off to a rainy start.

With a 30% chance of precipitation, Monday could see sporadic showers, mostly before noon. However, by Monday evening, the skies clear, and a low of about 30 degrees creates the conditions for a cool morning. The next several days hold the promise of relief despite the cold, with generally bright days preceding Wednesday, when the likelihood of rain increases to 50%. According to the NWS forecast, there is a 50% probability of rain that will continue through Thanksgiving. With largely cloudy skies and highs close to 43 degrees, Thanksgiving revelers may want to keep an umbrella close at hand.
