St. Louis, MO – A surge of warm temperatures will hit Missouri this weekend, with highs near 90°F expected through Tuesday, creating an early taste of summer. As the heat intensifies, smoky skies from Canadian wildfires will linger, giving the region a hazy, milky appearance through Monday evening.
According to the National Weather Service, the wildfire smoke will impact air quality, creating a hazy sky, but temperatures will remain hot. “We could see highs climb into the upper 80s and possibly touch 90°F in some areas,” said the NWS. By Tuesday afternoon, a cold front will move through, bringing a shift in weather conditions and a return of showers and thunderstorms, lasting into the overnight hours.
In St. Louis and surrounding areas, expect smoky skies on Sunday and Monday, with temperatures hovering around 85-90°F.

The return of thunderstorms Tuesday could also bring sudden weather changes, so be prepared for potential heavy rain and gusty winds.
Warnings remain in effect through Tuesday evening, and additional advisories may follow as the storm system moves through. Stay updated for further weather alerts and take precautions when traveling in smoky or stormy conditions.
