Tracking Monday drizzle & rain chances through Wednesday

Good morning, St. Joseph, and happy Monday! We’re starting off the work week on a cool and damp note. Early this morning, you may notice some light drizzle and damp roads across the region as faint showers continue to move through. Temperatures are sitting in the low 50s and will only climb slightly today, with a high near 58 degrees — below average for this time of year.

Cloud cover will be the main reason temperatures stay cool. Drizzle could linger through lunchtime, followed by a brief dry stretch, before scattered showers return this evening. Monday won’t be a washout, but it will stay damp and gray through much of the day.

Tuesday morning looks to bring the best chance for widespread rain, especially during the morning commute, before showers become more scattered by the afternoon. As this system moves through, it’ll pull in cooler air for the middle of the week.

By midweek, highs will stay in the low 50s, and overnight lows will dip back into the mid to low 30s, bringing a chance for frost or even a light freeze a few mornings.

Looking ahead — Halloween is shaping up to be dry and sunny, but chilly, with evening temperatures in the 30s for trick-or-treaters. And don’t forget — we fall back an hour Sunday morning as Daylight Saving Time ends.
