ST. LOUIS — A mild, sunny Tuesday is ahead for the St. Louis region, with a cooler and breezier Veterans Day expected Wednesday.
The National Weather Service forecast calls for sunshine Tuesday and a high near 72 degrees. A west wind around 6 mph should become calm during the afternoon. Skies are expected to turn increasingly cloudy Tuesday night, when the low should settle near 48.
At 4:51 a.m. Tuesday, the official observation at St. Louis Lambert International Airport reported fair skies and 50 degrees. Conditions can vary across the metro area, especially near river valleys and outlying communities, so drivers should check local observations before an early trip.
Veterans Day is forecast to be mostly sunny with a high near 68. The weather service expects a southwest wind of 7 to 17 mph, with gusts that could approach 30 mph. People attending outdoor ceremonies may want a light layer that handles both the cool start and the wind.
Tuesday’s dry weather offers a useful window for outdoor work and travel. Residents should still secure lightweight outdoor items ahead of Wednesday’s stronger gusts.
Forecast details can change. The latest point forecast and advisories are available from the National Weather Service.
