St. Louis, Mo. – A stretch of summerlike heat will return to Missouri this week as temperatures steadily climb toward the 90s by midweek. Dry conditions are expected to hold, making for a warm but manageable pattern across the state.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, highs Monday will range from 75 to 80 degrees before climbing into the upper 80s by Wednesday. By Thursday and Friday, many locations, including St. Louis and Columbia, could reach 93 degrees — well above the seasonal average of 79 to 83.
The warming trend may bring heat concerns for outdoor workers and afternoon commuters, especially later in the week. Those attending outdoor events should plan for sun exposure, stay hydrated, and limit strenuous activity during peak afternoon hours. While the heat will build, the week’s dry outlook means little relief from scattered showers.
Drivers should be mindful of heat-related stress on vehicles, particularly tire pressure and cooling systems. Residents are also urged to check on vulnerable neighbors and pets as temperatures push higher by Thursday.
This warming stretch is expected to hold into the weekend, with more updates likely if the heat lingers beyond Friday.
