St. Louis hits 92°F today under mostly sunny skies — but a serious severe weather threat arrives tonight, so get your outdoor plans done before noon. Check the St. Louis weather forecast to stay updated as conditions evolve throughout the day.
Today’s Setup
Morning is the golden window: mostly sunny, temperatures climbing quickly toward 92°F. South winds will gust up to 46 mph throughout the day, strong enough to make the Gateway Arch riverfront and Forest Park uncomfortably blustery. A slight chance of storms exists between 1–3 PM CT, but the National Weather Service says the main event comes after dark.
Severe Weather Alert: Storms Tonight
The National Weather Service is flagging strong to severe thunderstorms from mid-afternoon through late evening, with the greatest risk north of I-70 — which cuts right through the metro. Damaging winds are the primary hazard, but large hail and a few tornadoes are also possible. Storms are most likely between 7 PM and 1 AM CT, with a 60% chance of precipitation overnight. Secure anything loose on your deck or patio before evening, know where your shelter spot is, and keep important documents tucked away in a fireproof document safe.
Cardinals Game at Busch Stadium Tonight
The St. Louis Cardinals host the San Diego Padres at Busch Stadium tonight — and the timing is tight. Early innings should be playable, but storms could threaten by the 7th inning or later. If you’re heading out, check the radar around 5 PM CT before you leave. Wear your St. Louis Cardinals jersey or St. Louis Cardinals fitted cap, toss a light rain jacket in your bag, and Find tickets on StubHub if you’re still working on seats.
Best Window To Be Outside
Morning through about 11 AM CT is your best shot today. Mow the lawn, walk the dog through Tower Grove Park, or knock out any outdoor errands before the heat and wind team up this afternoon. An insulated tumbler 30oz keeps your drink cold while you power through the heat.
Upcoming Concerts: Plan Ahead
Thursday drops to a much more comfortable 82°F with lighter northwest winds — a real relief. That sets up the MGK: Lost Americana Tour at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater on June 19 for a pleasant outdoor evening. On June 20, Santana & The Doobie Brothers headline the same outdoor venue — grab Get tickets on SeatGeek and a Santana t-shirt to complete the look. Ben Folds also plays The Factory on June 19 for a more intimate indoor option if you’d rather not risk the elements.
Dinner Tonight: Too Hot to Cook
Skip the stove entirely — 92°F with no breeze inside is no time to fire up the oven. Cold Thai noodle salad, a build-your-own wrap bar, or smoothie bowls are the move tonight. A high-powered blender makes smoothie bowls quick and effortless. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered before the storms roll in tonight.
Next Few Days
Thursday brings genuine relief at 82°F with lighter northwest winds around 8 mph and mostly sunny skies — though a 30% chance of afternoon storms lingers. Dry and comfortable conditions hold Friday into the weekend before another round of showers and thunderstorms arrives late Saturday into early Monday. Enjoy that Thursday window while it lasts.
