Missouri – The air feels almost like April across St. Louis this morning. Mild, slightly humid breezes drift through downtown, and temperatures sit near 60 degrees under mostly cloudy skies.

By afternoon, sunshine takes control and readings surge into the low 70s. That is nearly 20 degrees above average for mid-February. West winds gust over 20 mph, adding a breezy edge to the warmth. If you have outdoor plans, today delivers rare “Spring Warmth” vibes.

Clouds return tonight with lows near 51. Thursday brings another active round. Showers and a few thunderstorms develop, mainly before midafternoon. Highs again push near 70 before cooler air slides in late. Winds may gust close to 30 mph at times.

Friday turns sharply cooler but bright. Sunshine dominates with highs near 50. Friday night drops to the low 30s, setting up a notable weekend shift.

Saturday stays partly sunny with highs around 43. A 40 percent chance of snow develops during the day. While heavy snow is not expected, even light February accumulation can create slick patches, especially on bridges and overpasses. Saturday night keeps a 30 percent chance of snow before skies gradually clear.

Sunday brings sunshine with highs near 39. Nights dip into the 20s, raising the risk of flash freezing where moisture lingers.

Next week begins cold but quiet. Highs hover in the upper 30s Monday, then rebound toward the upper 40s by Tuesday. Longer-range outlooks hint at above-normal temperatures building late next week, signaling a stronger warming trend across Missouri and Illinois.
