St. Louis residents, don’t let today’s mild start fool you—showers are expected to roll in during the afternoon, potentially making roads slick and slowing down evening plans. With cloudy skies and temperatures reaching 54°F (12°C), make sure to have an umbrella and drive carefully during your commute.
What’s Happening Today:
Expect cloudy skies throughout the day with light afternoon showers. Temperatures will peak at 54°F (12°C), but by evening, the mercury will dip to 34°F (1°C). The combination of wet conditions and falling temperatures could lead to some slippery spots, especially on bridges and overpasses.
Weekend Weather Outlook:
- Saturday: Cloudy intervals with a few sunny breaks. Highs will be around 47°F (8°C), and night time temperatures will hover around 38°F (3°C).
- Sunday: Warmer and brighter, with sun and areas of high clouds. Temperatures will climb to 64°F (18°C) during the day and settle at 38°F (3°C) by night.
Why This Rain Matters:
Even light rain can create hazardous conditions, especially during high-traffic times. With falling evening temperatures, untreated surfaces could turn slippery quickly.
Safety Tips to Keep in Mind:
- Drive Carefully: Wet roads can reduce traction, so leave extra distance between vehicles.
- Umbrella Alert: Keep an umbrella handy to stay dry during passing showers.
- Watch for Updates: Weather can shift quickly, so monitor local forecasts for any changes throughout the day.
Today’s showers may be light, but they could still cause a mess during peak travel hours. Stay prepared, St. Louis—drive safe and enjoy the weekend ahead
