Greetings, Kirkwood residents! As we approach the end of September, the weather in our lovely city looks to deliver a varied mix over the next three days. Let's dive into the detailed forecast for Kirkwood, Missouri, to help you prepare for the upcoming days.
Get ready for a warm and slightly overcast day. The morning will start off cloudy, with temperatures around 20°C (68°F) at midnight, easing down to 12°C (54°F) by dawn. As the sun rises at 6:53 AM, expect the clouds to gradually give way to intermittent sunshine throughout the day. The maximum temperature is expected to reach 28°C (82°F) by the afternoon, making it feel quite pleasant outside.
In terms of wind, it will be gentle, with speeds around 4-9 mph, coming from the north-northeast. Humidity will remain relatively high at 76%, and there is a negligible chance of rain, so it seems like a dry day is ahead. Make sure to enjoy the 11.8 hours of sunshine as we experience a lovely fall day.
The weather shifts significantly on Friday as we prepare for a rainy day. The sunrise will be at 6:54 AM, but sadly clouds will dominate the sky, resulting in a gloomy start with a high chance of moderate to heavy rain showers.
Temperatures will be cooler, reaching a maximum of only 20°C (67°F) and a minimum of 15°C (60°F). Wind gusts will be notable, ranging from 15-30 mph, indicating that not only can we expect frequent showers, but it might also feel quite breezy. Rainfall accumulation could reach up to 8.3 mm (0.3 inches) in the morning, ensuring a wet start to the day. Perched at home with a warm drink may just be the best approach!
The rain is expected to continue into Saturday, but it will be accompanied by slightly warmer temperatures. The day begins with periods of rain, and the sun will rise at 6:55 AM. Maximum temperatures will be around 24°C (75°F), while minimums will drop to 15°C (59°F). Wind gusts will persist, making it feel like a breezy fall day with consistent rain showers throughout.
Keep an eye out for moderate rain continuing throughout the day, with scattered breaks in precipitation giving us occasional sunny moments towards the afternoon. Expect rain totals for Saturday to potentially exceed that of Friday!
