Before the weather takes a more unpredictable turn later this week, residents of St. Louis may anticipate some sunshine today. The current temperature is 43 degrees Fahrenheit, and the air humidity is 80%, according to the St. Louis National Weather Service. Forecasts indicate that the city will see largely sunny skies during the day, with a high of about 65 degrees expected. Although gusts may choose to vehemently show up as high as 24 mph, south winds will be subtly detectable, moving air at 7 to 13 mph.
Those who intend to go outside tonight should be ready for the chance of showers. Rainfall is expected to occur between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., with a 30% likelihood. With temperatures dropping to about 54 degrees and the south wind still blowing at 6 to 10 miles per hour, this will be the beginning of a largely overcast evening. According to the NWS, gusts may reach up to 20 mph as they attempt to make their presence known once more.
There seems to be a persistent 20% probability of showers before 8 am as we move into tomorrow. According to NWS projections, the temperature will drop throughout the day, reaching about 48 degrees by 5 p.m. The northwest will bring gusts of 6 to 14 mph, with the potential for gusts as high as 24 mph, as the winds change. This shift ushers in a period of cooler weather that will last until tomorrow evening, when it is predicted that the clouds will gradually clear and the low temperatures will drop to below freezing, or 30 degrees.
Residents of St. Louis and those traveling for Thanksgiving should pay close attention to the weather patterns that the NWS has described for the remainder of the week. There will be a brief break on Tuesday with mostly sunny skies and a high of almost 45 degrees. On Wednesday, clouds will return with a 40 percent chance of rain after midday. Remember that there is a 50% chance of rain on Thanksgiving Day if you plan to travel or prepare for the holiday. While there may be a semblance of relief Thursday night with the rain chances dropping to 20 percent before midnight, Turkey Day celebrators will want to wrap up to stay warm as the forecasted high is only around 40 degrees.
For those whose tradition includes going outside to enjoy the post-Thanksgiving sales, be ready for a sunny yet brisk Friday, with a high near 35. The temperature would dip into the 20s come nightfall, reinforcing that winter’s presence is to slowly but surely encroach upon us, as noted in the NWS’s detailed forecast released earlier this morning.
