ST. LOUIS, MO — A thin gray haze hangs low over the Mississippi River this morning, the kind that softens city skylines and settles over quiet neighborhoods. The cool, damp air feels unmistakably autumn — Missouri’s slow drift toward November well underway.
The National Weather Service in St. Louis calls for increasing clouds today, with highs near 62°F and a 20% chance of light showers developing this afternoon. Winds stay gentle, shifting south near 8 mph, and any rain should remain light and brief. Still, roads could dampen quickly for the evening commute, particularly along I-70 and I-64 corridors.
Saturday brings more of the same — mostly cloudy skies, highs in the low 60s, and spotty showers through the day. The steadiest rainfall appears most likely Saturday night into Sunday, when a 40–50% chance of showers develops across eastern Missouri and southern Illinois. Though rainfall totals stay modest, wet pavement and scattered drizzle may make outdoor plans less pleasant.
By Monday, drier and slightly warmer weather returns with highs rebounding to the low 60s, and sunshine builds into Tuesday. Temperatures hold near normal through midweek, but models hint at a cooler pattern settling in by Halloween — possibly the first strong cold front of November.
For now, expect a soft, gray weekend in St. Louis — the kind perfect for fall errands, pumpkin carving, or just watching leaves swirl in the breeze before a brighter week ahead.
