SUMMARY: The St. Louis forecast shows drought conditions continuing with slightly lower temperatures.

Today’s high will be near 82°F with a good mix of sun and clouds, and a low around 61°F with light northeast winds. The allergy index is moderate for weeds and mold, but none for grasses and trees. A small chance of rain Tuesday and Wednesday could help extend the fall foliage by keeping leaves on trees longer, preventing early leaf drop due to dry conditions. Cooler temperatures follow later in the week.

SUMMARY: Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe has called a special legislative session starting September 3 to redraw the state’s eight congressional districts, focusing on making the 5th District, held by Democrat Emanuel Cleaver, more Republican-leaning. The GOP-backed plan aims to increase Republican seats from six to seven, leaving only one Democrat. Redistricting typically occurs every decade following the U.S. Census but can happen mid-decade via special sessions. The session will also address initiative petition reform. Democrats criticize the move as a partisan power grab. Kehoe emphasizes ensuring districts reflect Missouri values and voter clarity amid national Republican redistricting efforts.
