ST. LOUIS, Mo.– After a soggy and blustery start to the weekend, a calmer stretch of fall weather is just around the corner for the St. Louis region. Early Saturday brought bands of rain and isolated thunderstorms that soaked portions of the I-70 corridor, but skies are already beginning to clear west of the Mississippi River.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, lingering showers will taper by midday Sunday as northwest winds pull in cooler, drier air. Gusts may still reach 25 to 30 mph through early afternoon, making for a breezy transition day before conditions settle into a string of sunny, comfortable afternoons.
Travelers and event organizers across Metro East and downtown St. Louis can expect improving weather for fall festivals, football tailgates, and outdoor dining by Sunday afternoon. Roads may remain damp through the morning, so caution is advised for early church or park-goers. By Monday, high pressure builds strongly over the region, delivering full sunshine and highs near 72°F — ideal weather for pumpkin patch visits and fall cleanup projects.
Looking ahead, the week stays dry and mild, with temperatures in the 60s and 70s through Wednesday. A gradual cool-down is likely late in the week, but no significant storms or cold snaps are on the immediate horizon.
