The normal high and low temperatures for St. Peters at this time of the year are 61 and 42 degrees.  The weather forecast, however, is predicting high temperatures between 28 and 49 degrees for the next ten days and lows below freezing for six of those ten nights.  Up to two inches of snow is forecast for tomorrow.
