ST. LOUIS, Mo. – A blustery wind sweeps across the Gateway Arch this morning as low clouds carry light flurries through the metro. Streetlights glint off damp pavement, and the air feels sharp—a clear sign the region’s first real cold snap of November has settled in.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, northwest winds gusting near 30 mph will keep the air brisk today as scattered flurries drift across eastern Missouri and western Illinois. Temperatures will hover near 38 to 40 degrees through the day, with wind chills dipping into the upper 20s. The system clears Monday, leaving behind bright sunshine but cold starts in the 20s across much of the area.
Drivers heading out early along I-64, I-70, and I-44 should watch for slick bridges or patchy frost in shaded spots. The chill will be short-lived, though—a sharp warmup builds by Veterans Day, when highs rebound into the mid-50s under mostly sunny skies.
By midweek, the region climbs back into the 60s, offering ideal weather for outdoor events, late leaf cleanup, and early holiday decorating. The late-week pattern looks quiet, though models hint that another cool front could bring showers and colder air by the following weekend.
For now, the St. Louis metro begins the week bundled against a brisk fall breeze—one that will soon give way to clear skies, calm air, and the kind of crisp November warmth that never lasts long.
