Missouri – Cold air settles low over the Mississippi River as the morning begins. Streetlights glow against gray clouds, and the chill cuts through gloves quickly. Temperatures hover near 28 degrees across St. Louis, with a noticeable bite in the breeze.
Today stays mostly cloudy, keeping highs near 31 degrees. Winds remain light, but the cold lingers on bridges and shaded roads. Drivers should stay alert early, especially where moisture refroze overnight. Side streets and parking lots may feel slick at first.
Conditions ease tonight as skies clear. Temperatures dip into the upper teens, but a shift is already underway. By Thursday, sunshine breaks through and southerly winds help temperatures climb near 40 degrees. That warming trend accelerates into Friday.
Friday turns noticeably milder. Skies stay mostly sunny, and highs approach the upper 40s across the metro. Outdoor errands feel easier, and snowmelt increases during the afternoon. Watch for refreezing after sunset, especially on untreated surfaces.
The weekend continues the upward trend. Saturday stays mostly sunny with highs in the low 40s. Sunday feels almost springlike, with highs reaching near 50 degrees. Parks, trails, and neighborhoods come back to life after the cold stretch.
Looking into early next week, above-normal temperatures dominate. Highs rise into the low 50s Monday, with a slight rain chance developing by Tuesday. No winter storms are showing up yet, but February can still surprise.
For now, layer up early and plan lighter jackets by afternoon. Winter loosens its grip, at least temporarily.
