St. Louis is kicking off Monday under a thick deck of clouds with a high near 75°F — a refreshing break from midsummer heat that’s great for just about any outdoor plan. North winds around 9 mph keep things comfortable all day, and rain chances are essentially zero at just 2%, so get out there.
Today’s Setup
A cool airmass settled in behind a departing cold front, pulling a layer of low stratus clouds over the metro. The National Weather Service expects skies to gradually scatter from northwest to southeast starting late this morning. It won’t be a full-sun day, but the mild temperatures make this one of the more pleasant Mondays St. Louis has seen all summer.
Cardinals fans, the whole series is shaping up nicely: the St. Louis Cardinals host the Arizona Diamondbacks at Busch Stadium through June 25. Today’s game should be comfortable under those gray skies — a light layer under the north breeze wouldn’t hurt. Show your colors with a St. Louis Cardinals jersey or St. Louis Cardinals fitted cap, and Find tickets on StubHub if you’re still looking for seats.
Best Window to Be Outside
Overcast skies and mild temps are actually ideal for fishing and golf — reduced glare, manageable heat. Bring your polarized fishing sunglasses and golf hat visor. Anglers, a portable fish finder paired with this calm, overcast window can pay off big on the Missouri or Mississippi. If you’re stocking up for a trip, the Plano Double-Sided Tackle Box for just $14 is a great grab right now.
Watch for Fog Tuesday Morning
One note from NWS forecasters: there’s a low (around 20%) chance of patchy fog south and east of the STL metro early Tuesday morning, as skies partially clear near sunset tonight and winds go calm. If you’re commuting in from the Illinois side, give yourself a few extra minutes.
Wednesday Storm Risk
Tuesday is the standout day of the week — sunny, near 82°F, with light east winds around 3 mph. Get outside and enjoy every minute of it.
By Wednesday, a 30–60% chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives with a high near 84°F. If you’re headed to Meghan Trainor: The Get In Girl Tour at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater on June 24, keep a close eye on storm timing — afternoon and evening storms are possible. Snag a Meghan Trainor t-shirt or Meghan Trainor hoodie before the show, and Get tickets on SeatGeek if you haven’t locked them in yet. Tuesday’s calm skies are actually the better night for live music — The Dead South w/ Amigo The Devil play Rose Music Hall on June 23 under clearing conditions.
Also on the radar: the Louis Tomlinson - How Did We Get Here? World Tour hits Chaifetz Arena on June 27 — check our full event preview for details.
Grill Tonight
Tonight’s low eases to a comfortable 62°F — perfect for a backyard cookout. Fire up the propane gas grill for burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob. An instant-read meat thermometer keeps everything food-safe, and a grill brush and scraper set makes cleanup painless. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered to your door.
The next few days: Soak up Tuesday’s sunshine, watch Wednesday’s storm window closely, and expect a drier stretch to return late week as that system clears out. Stay with your St. Louis weather forecast for updates.
