ST. LOUIS – The haze in our skies from Canadian wildfire smoke was thick enough to keep temperatures down a bit on Sunday, and it may do so again Monday as that smoke continues to be carried by upper atmospheric winds.
Monday is set to be warm, with highs in the mid- to upper 80s. Monday night will be dry and warm.
We’ll wake up Tuesday around 70 F. The day will start dry and it looks like some of the wildfire smoke may begin to shift eastward. By Tuesday afternoon, the next front will approach from the west. Watch for scattered showers and storms Tuesday afternoon and night, especially in our Missouri communities. Expect high temperatures to be in the upper 80s.
That front will be slowing to a crawl into Wednesday and will stall out to our south for the rest of the week, keeping a chance for storms in the forecast each day. Temperatures will be closer to average, with highs in the lower 80s.
