So Saint Louis should get a lot of humidity from the river.

Now San Jose is somewhat different. While there is a nearby water source, two in fact, the Pacific Ocean there has a near shore cold water current, the California current. This keeps near shore and San Francisco Bay waters cold. This has a chilling effect on the air over said waters, lowering the available humidity over the land, which is a lot warmer. This also means that prevailing winds are from east to west, or from an arid area to the ocean.

Your lack of comprehension of simple weather is astounding. First, in the summer, the humidity of nearly everything east of the Rockies s dominated by moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi has as much to do with the humidity in St. Louis as CO2 concentration has on alleged GW. Second, if you knew anything about air density you would realize that hot air rises. In the Bay Area summers the interior land is baked by the sun during the day and as the temperature difference increases between inland and the Pacific winds are whipped up on shore (Which is west to east.) If you had ever seen a Giants game at Candlestick Park you would see the worst case results of this. So, again, why is it so much more humid in St Louis which is hundreds of miles from the Gulf while I relax in a relative desert right by the ocean?
