Today: Things feel cooler this morning as winds remain breezy out of the northwest. Temperatures start into the mid to lower 40s before climbing close to the 50° mark this afternoon. There is the potential to see some spotty sprinkles mainly east of the STL Metro.

Friday: Friday will be near freezing in St. Louis and below in outlying areas. It will be a slightly colder day with light winds. While we expect plenty of sunshine, a period of clouds may pass through at times. But we’ll stay dry and chilly.

Saturday: Saturday morning a hard freeze is expected for most areas (28 or colder) and very close to that in the city. Then sunshine and a high of 49 with light winds, a great day to take a drive and enjoy the peaking Fall Foliage.

Sunday: We start Sunday below freezing again and then warm to the low 50s with partly to mostly sunny skies and light winds.

Trend Next Week: It looks cool early but warmer later in the week, some of those temps may adjust upward further. But a system eventually comes through with rain and a cool down. Some models time that out for late Saturday and Sunday...others hold off until late Sunday. So watch for updates there on the timing of a system that could both cool us down and bring some rain.
