St. Louis, Mo. – Drivers heading into the weekend across Missouri can expect dry roads, sunny skies, and warmer-than-normal fall temperatures. Those planning travel on I-70, I-44, or regional highways will face few weather disruptions but should prepare for bright sun and higher-than-average late-September heat.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, no hazardous conditions are expected through early next week. Skies remain clear with afternoon highs climbing into the mid-80s by Sunday, while overnight lows dip into the 50s and 60s. The stable weather pattern means fewer travel delays, but residents are encouraged to stay hydrated and use caution during extended outdoor activity as temperatures climb.
By Saturday, St. Louis, Columbia, and Springfield will see sunny skies with highs near 83. Sunday brings slightly warmer conditions with highs pushing 85, unusual for the first weekend of fall. Winds stay light, keeping the air calm but allowing daytime heat to linger into early October.
Looking ahead, Monday continues the streak of warm, dry days with highs near 86 before Tuesday brings a slight dip back into the lower 80s. No early signs of frost or near-freezing nights appear for the region, meaning winter-like chills remain at least a few weeks away.
Clear skies and warm afternoons will dominate this weekend, offering prime conditions for outdoor festivals, football games, and road trips. The National Weather Service will continue monitoring for any developing changes, but for now, Missouri heads into October under sunshine.
