Missouri – A gray February morning hangs over St. Louis, with temperatures near 37 degrees and damp air clinging to sidewalks and overpasses. The early chill feels sharper near the river, where light winds brush across mostly quiet streets.

Sunshine quickly takes control today. Highs climb to near 61 degrees by afternoon as south winds increase slightly. That 20-degree swing will melt away any lingering frost. Bridges and shaded ramps could still feel slick early, so ease into the commute.

Clouds increase tonight with lows around 41 degrees. Saturday turns wet. Rain develops mainly after 9 a.m., and chances rise to 80 percent through the day. Roads along I-64, I-44 and I-70 may turn glossy by midday. Plan extra travel time and keep headlights on.

Rain continues Saturday night with a 90 percent chance and lows near 45. Puddles may collect in low-lying spots, though widespread flooding is not expected.

Sunday improves. A slight 20 percent rain chance lingers early, then skies turn mostly sunny with highs near 58 degrees. Washington’s Birthday brings even brighter weather and highs around 63.

Early next week trends milder. Highs reach the upper 60s Tuesday and low 70s Wednesday under partly sunny skies. A slight rain chance returns midweek, but temperatures remain well above normal.

The 6- to 10-day outlook favors continued above-average warmth across Missouri and Illinois. February is showing early hints of spring.
