As Missouri gears up for Labor Day weekend, a refreshing wave of cool air will move in, bringing temperatures down into the 50s for some areas. This early taste of fall could catch you by surprise, so make sure you’re prepared for the temperature drop.
The cool air will begin affecting the region on Sunday night, with temperatures dipping into the 60s for much of the state. This will continue through the start of September, with highs in the 70s on Labor Day itself, a significant shift from the summer heat. For travelers and outdoor enthusiasts, this marks a pleasant change, but it also means that cooler nights will require some extra layers or a jacket if you plan on being out.
Weather models predict temperatures in the low 60s for several nights next week. If you’re planning any early morning activities or late-night events, be sure to bundle up. Humidity will also be lower, adding to the crisp feel in the air, which will feel like a welcome relief after a humid summer.
Rain chances remain low over the weekend, but there could be a few showers or thunderstorms scattered through the beginning of next week. Be sure to check local forecasts before hitting the road for any outdoor events.
