St. Louis, MO — The heat continues in St. Louis this week, with temperatures expected to climb to nearly 90 degrees through Thursday. Clear skies tonight offer a prime view of a rare astronomical event: a supermoon paired with a partial lunar eclipse.
According to the National Weather Service, tonight’s supermoon eclipse will begin at 7:41 p.m. and last until just after midnight. The forecast calls for dry and mostly clear conditions, making it ideal for stargazers. However, minor cloud cover may appear during the event.
Afternoon highs through Thursday will range from 86 to 91 degrees, with overnight lows dipping into the 60s. Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat.
