ST. LOUIS - It was an absolutely beautiful Thursday with cooler air keeping our highs in the 70s. The northerly flow bringing us the cool down did also bring some wildfire smoke to the region as well and you might have noticed the haze to the blue sky.

Friday brings another cold front through the region. Clouds will be on the increase Friday morning and we will see scattered light rain showers through the afternoon and evening, starting north and working their way to the south and east. Highs Friday will only be in the low 70s. There may be spots north of I-70 that stay in the 60s all day.

Skies will clear towards daybreak Saturday, though we could see some morning fog. Sunny skies and great temperatures for the weekend. Highs both days in the mid to upper 70s.

We will see a warming trend next week, with highs back near 90 F by Wednesday. No other rain in the forecast until maybe next Thursday.
