Bruce Mound Ski Area Snow Report

055 FXUS63 KLSX 100754 AFDLSX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service St Louis MO 254 AM CDT Sat Oct 10 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Temperatures will be up to 10 degrees cooler over parts of the area today before warming back to near record warmth on Monday. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... Issued at 251 AM CDT Sat Oct 10 2026 The latest surface analysis is showing a stationary front extending from South Dakota through Iowa into central Illinois with center of Post Tropical Cyclone Isaias over southern Alabama. The latest NHC track keeps Isaias well to the south and east of the CWA with the HREF just printing out slight chances (15-20%) in the farthest eastern part of the CWA late this afternoon and this evening. IR satellite imagery early this morning is showing high clouds streaming northward toward the CWA this morning, but the HREF is not indicating that central and northeast Missouri will see as much clouds as previously thought allowing highs to climb into the middle to upper 80s in those locations today. Elsewhere, the mid and high clouds on the northwest side of the system will allow highs to be 5- 10 degrees cooler than yesterday. The clouds will begin to clear out tonight as Isaias moves off to the east and an upper ridge builds over Missouri and Illinois. With clearing skies and light winds, lows should drop back into the 50s. Highs on Sunday should climb back into middle 80s to around 90 degrees with the warmest readings over central Missouri. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Issued at 251 AM CDT Sat Oct 10 2026 Model guidance continues to be in good agreement on Monday with ridging remaining across the Midwest and a front remaining to the north of the CWA. This will set up southwesterly flow across the CWA at the same time 850mb temperatures will be around 20C which is the 99th percentile for this time of year. Temperatures will be near or at record warmth (see climate section) including the monthly record of 94 degrees at St. Louis. The warmth will continue into Tuesday, but available guidance continues to indicate a front will move south into the area during the day resulting in a large variability in highs north of I-70. Showers will become likely with a chance for thunderstorms starting Tuesday night that continues through Thursday as the LREF is showing the upper ridge breaking down and the aforementioned front becoming quasi-stationary across Missouri and Illinois. It is during this period when 40-60% of the LREF members are producing rain at St. Louis. The cluster analysis is showing an increasing spread with how deep a trough will be over the Great Lakes which ultimately will determine how quickly we dry out and cool off by next weekend. At this point it looks like we will see highs in the 70s and 80s on Wednesday and Thursday behind the front on Tuesday with the potential for cooler weather by next weekend. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 1027 PM CDT Fri Oct 9 2026 VFR conditions are expected at all terminals throughout the 06Z TAF period. Mostly light southeast winds will persist, with increasing high level cloud cover throughout the day. Some patchy fog is possible at SUS overnight tonight, but confidence remains low that winds will become calm enough for widespread fog formation. Rain is expected to remain southeast of local terminals. && .CLIMATE... Issued at 247 PM CDT Fri Oct 9 2026 Record high temperatures are possible between Friday 10/9 and Monday 10/12.
