Weather around St. Louis

The Ozark hills south and west of St. Louis are where most weekend drives go, toward Sainte Genevieve, Hermann and Rolla. They are not much higher than the city, so temperatures are similar, but storms and fronts can reach one area hours before the other.

Fronts cross the Midwest quickly, so one weekend day is often much better than the other. Summer brings heat and afternoon storms, and spring brings the most severe weather, so read the thunderstorm notes as well as the highs.

How we pick

"Good" means a high from 55F to 88F, a forecast of sun or clouds, and at most a 30% chance of rain or snow, with no thunderstorm, dangerous heat or cold, strong gusts or smoke. "Mixed" means one day is good and the other isn't. Picks are ordered by that, then by the forecast and how much of a destination the town is.

Drive times start at the center of St. Louis and go to the center of each town. They come from a table built on OpenStreetMap and do not include traffic or seasonal road closures.
