Missouri – Light rain dots windshields across St. Louis this morning, with temperatures holding near 41 degrees. Streets glisten under gray skies, and a steady northeast breeze keeps the air damp and cool.
Showers taper off quickly, and sunshine builds through the day. Highs climb to 56 degrees with lighter winds this afternoon. Roads improve, but damp pavement may linger through midday.
Clear skies settle in tonight with lows around 37 degrees.
A dramatic warmup arrives Friday. Sunshine pushes highs to 73 degrees, and southwest winds gust up to 23 mph. It will feel like early April across the metro. Snow piles shrink fast, and patios could fill by afternoon.
Saturday stays mostly sunny with a high near 64 degrees. Enjoy it, because changes arrive late weekend.
Clouds thicken Saturday night with a slight chance of rain. By Sunday afternoon, rain becomes likely and may mix with snow as colder air filters in. Highs reach only 40 degrees. Precipitation chances climb to 80 percent Sunday night, with rain changing to snow before midnight.
If temperatures slip toward freezing, slick spots could develop on bridges along I-70 and I-44. This is the time of year when flash freezing catches drivers off guard after a mild day.
