MISSOURI–ILLINOIS — The pre-dawn sky hangs clear and quiet over the Gateway City this morning, a mild start that feels more like mid-October than mid-November. St. Louis and surrounding Metro East communities are set for one last burst of warmth before a cold front resets temperatures early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, Friday will deliver sunshine and spring-like highs near 76°F, with light south winds around 8 mph. Saturday stays bright, rising to about 77°F — a stretch of mild weather perfect for late-fall yard cleanup, outdoor events, or early holiday decorating. Nights remain comfortable through the weekend, with lows in the 40s and mostly clear skies.
By Sunday, the pattern begins to shift. A weak front will bring increasing clouds and slightly cooler highs near 60°F. Rain chances build late Monday into Tuesday, with about a 50% chance of scattered showers — especially along I-70 and I-64. While no severe storms are expected, the rain could dampen early-week commutes and travel plans.
After the front passes, cooler air will settle in for midweek, knocking highs back into the upper 50s by Wednesday. For now, it’s a picture-perfect November weekend ahead — but residents should prepare for the season’s first taste of transitional weather as Thanksgiving approaches.
