St. Louis, Missouri – Missourians can finally open their windows: a refreshing burst of cooler, less humid air is settling across the state, bringing overnight lows into the 50s and highs in the upper 70s to near 80 through early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, Thursday will start off cloudy with scattered showers and a 40% rain chance, but drier air quickly moves in by Friday. Temperatures will remain well below the seasonal average of 90°F, with highs hovering between 76°F and 83°F and dew points dropping for a more comfortable feel.
Expect mostly sunny skies across much of Missouri through the weekend, with standout spots like Columbia, Rolla, and Farmington seeing crisp mornings in the upper 50s. In Springfield and Jefferson City, Saturday and Sunday should bring back-to-back clear days ideal for outdoor plans.
With lows dipping to 57°F or cooler in some rural valleys, residents are advised to give air conditioners a break, but still prepare for light jackets or layers in the morning hours.
This extended break from typical summer heat should last through at least Monday, though forecasters hint that warmer weather may return midweek.
