Missouri – A calm, mild breeze moves through St. Louis early, and the air already feels more like March than mid-February. Temperatures sit in the low 50s before sunrise, setting up one of the warmest starts to the day so far this month.
According to the National Weather Service, sunshine dominates through the morning, allowing highs to surge into the mid-60s by afternoon. Southwest winds shift north later in the day, signaling a cooler turn by evening. Conditions stay dry, and travel along I-64 and I-70 remains smooth through the daytime hours.
Temperatures fall quickly tonight. Lows drop into the low 30s, and that sharp swing raises concerns for refreezing where daytime moisture lingers. Bridges, overpasses, and shaded sidewalks could turn slick before daybreak Wednesday.
Wednesday stays bright but cooler. Sunshine continues, though highs only reach around 50. Winds relax, making it feel comfortable despite the cooler readings. Wednesday night turns mostly cloudy, with lows near freezing across the metro area.
Thursday brings increasing clouds and the next weather change. Highs climb into the upper 40s, and a slight chance of rain develops by afternoon. Rain chances linger into Thursday night, though totals remain light. Any wet pavement could freeze late, especially outside the urban core.
Friday trends drier again. Skies turn partly sunny, and highs hover near 50. It’s a quieter day, but another cooldown follows after sunset as temperatures slip into the upper 30s.
Looking ahead, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across the central U.S. That suggests this week’s warmth may be a preview, not a one-off. While winter isn’t finished, signs of a broader February thaw continue to build.
For now, enjoy today’s warmth, plan for slick mornings midweek, and stay alert to fast temperature swings. How big was the temperature change where you live?
