Missouri and Illinois commuters are stepping into a mild, breezy February morning across St. Louis. Low clouds drift overhead, and a damp chill lingers along the Mississippi River. Temperatures sit in the low 40s, but that cool start will not last long.
Highs surge to around 62 degrees this afternoon with mostly cloudy skies. South winds increase between 8 and 15 mph, with gusts near 28 mph. That steady breeze signals a dramatic warmup already underway.
By Wednesday, sunshine takes control and pushes highs near 73 degrees. It will feel more like April than mid-February. Wednesday night stays mild, with lows near 51 and a slight shower chance after midnight.
Thursday turns even warmer. Afternoon highs reach 74 degrees with scattered showers and a chance of thunderstorms. Winds could gust up to 25 mph. Keep an eye on changing skies during the evening commute.
Then comes the sharp turn. Friday cools to 51 under sunny skies. By Saturday, temperatures drop into the mid-40s with a 30 percent chance of snow before noon, possibly mixing with rain. Ground temperatures remain relatively mild, but brief bursts could reduce visibility. Watch for slick patches if wet pavement refreezes after sunset. Flash freezing can catch drivers off guard this time of year.
Sunday stays colder, with highs near 40 and clear skies.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook favors near to slightly above normal precipitation and near normal temperatures. A gradual warming trend may return late next week, hinting at early Spring Warmth.
