Mary Baum here, longtime St. Louis resident. This time of year we get a big flip of the switch from shorts weather to fallwinterspring<\/em><\/strong>. Yes, we have all three of those seasons, from November through March and often into April, just like anywhere else. But they run on a two- to three-week cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you pack for that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In a word: Layers.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s going to be chilly outside, but only you<\/em> know your internal thermostat indoors. So if you run hot, you’ll want to be able to go down to a tee. If you run cold, you might want a couple of each kind of layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My best friend is polar fleece. It’s lighter than wool and keeps you warm when wet, which is a bonus for going out in the rain or breaking a sweat in a warm workshop room. You could wind up doing both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it stands now,<\/a> we’re looking at chilly, wet weather for Wednesday and Thursday next week, warming into the 50\u00bas for the weekend. Overnight lows will hover just above freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless, of course, things change.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the radar for Missouri.<\/a> My kids grew up checking it daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather comes up Interstate 44 from Joplin and travels about 55 miles an hour. If it’s not on that path, we can ignore it. Mostly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Here’s a screen grab from that Weather.com page for Saturday, October 25.
Notice the flow, southeast to northwest? Weather comes up I-44.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oh. One more thing:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beware the upside-down day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this period of the switch flipping, you might wake up in the morning to find it’s 60 degrees out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not be deceived! <\/strong>It will be 40 or colder by dinnertime. So take your polar-fleece coat for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put simply: be prepared for almost anything.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
