St. Louis weather today is sunny and 67°F—a beautiful spring day that’s calling you outside after some early morning showers have moved east.
Here’s what’s happening: A cold front pushed through overnight, and as our National Weather Service forecasters noted, that boundary is shunting the lingering showers out of the forecast area before sunrise. By mid-morning, you’ll have full sunshine across the metro, from Forest Park to the riverfront near the Gateway Arch. Winds will be light to moderate at 8 to 12 mph from the northwest, with occasional gusts up to 21 mph—nothing too aggressive, but enough to keep things crisp and fresh.
This is prime weather for getting outside. If you’re thinking about heading to the ballpark, the St. Louis Cardinals vs Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, May 1st at Busch Stadium will have excellent conditions—clear skies and mild temps in the upper 60s. Grab Official team gear on Fanatics to show your Cardinal pride, and Find tickets on StubHub if you haven’t locked yours in yet. For tailgating before the game, a portable propane grill will work perfectly in these calm conditions.
Tonight, expect lows around 45°F with partly cloudy skies—grab a light jacket if you’re catching any of the concerts happening around town. The Puscifer: The Normal Isn’t Tour at The Factory on Thursday, April 30th, and Melissa Etheridge: RISE at The Factory on Friday, May 1st will both have pleasant weather for outdoor pre-show hangouts. Snag Melissa Etheridge t-shirt to commemorate the show, and Get tickets on SeatGeek for any remaining spots.
Thursday looks equally nice—mostly sunny with a high near 68°F and very light winds. However, the National Weather Service mentions a subtle shortwave will push through Thursday into Friday with a weak cold front, bringing just a 20% chance of showers. Confidence in widespread rain is low, so your outdoor plans should stay on track.
The real cool-down arrives Friday and Saturday. Friday will be the chilliest day, with highs below 65°F area-wide. That’s perfect weather for grilling—the cooler air means your portable propane grill won’t work overtime, and you’ll be comfortable standing outside. If you’re planning a backyard cookout or tailgate, secure any loose items with a bungee cord assortment in case those northwest winds pick up.
For dinner tonight, take advantage of the pleasant evening by firing up the grill for something light—maybe grilled chicken and spring vegetables. If you’d rather stay in, order groceries on Amazon and pick up some fresh produce and proteins for the week ahead.
Looking ahead: Cool, dry conditions hold through Saturday before temperatures return to near-normal by Sunday. It’s a great stretch to enjoy the outdoors—so get out there and make the most of it.
